Anymore, to take full advantage of some of the Pacific Northwest’s better fishing opportunities it requires a driving mindset. As in, watching the odometer tick off the miles in your vehicle. Most people I know have come to terms with being a mobile salmon angler, myself included.

The Columbia River estuary is home to a diverse array of nearly year-round recreational fisheries. There’s something here for everyone. Just take your pick of fall-winter crabbing, spring salmon and sturgeon, summer chinook and steelhead, or jetty fishing for lingcod and rockfish. And last but certainly not least, let’s not forget the crown jewel of Pacific Northwest fall salmon trolling: the world-class Buoy 10 fishery.

I’ll admit, in my early years of pursuing salmon, trolling did not seem to be a technique that would be very high on my list of favorite ways to fish. I was drawn to action; watching a float dip and swirl as it coursed its way down a swirly current seam, feeling the methodical tap tap tap of a back-bounced bait give way to the chomp of a hungry chinook, the rhythmic vibrations of wobbling plugs that elicit vicious takedowns, and the list goes on. The thought of plopping a rod in a rod holder and sitting in a seat for hours on end just didn’t raise my heart rate.

Success as a steelhead fisherman is something that must be learned. Nobody is born knowing how to tie knots, how to row a drift boat, or cast a baitcast reel. These things all take time not only to learn, but to truly become good at.

There are few places where you can fish for, and with relative frequency, catch the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic salmon — the spring chinook —all within a metropolitan backdrop, complete with skyscrapers and urban noise. Welcome to Portland’s Willamette River. For Portland-area residents, the Willamette River offers a backyard opportunity that can give you an hour or two of serious salmon fishing before or after work. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is predicting 51,000 springers returning to the Willamette in 2022 with an average year getting around 40,000. With a two (hatchery) fish limit and a two rod endorsement allowed, “the Willy” is a no brainer for many.
