Columbia River Springer Fishing Limited Openings
Springer Season on the Columbia River is happening right now and we are catching Spring Kings NOW. We have only two days left for this fishery. April 17th & 18th are the last two days we have open.
Don't miss out! This normally costs 200.00 per person. But I have a one-time special at 150.00 per person with a minimum of 4 persons. The maximum limit is 5 persons. In association with our partner guide, we have two boats available for both the 17th & 18th. We can fish five per boat, no problem but it is more comfortable with four.
So if you have a large group of 8 - 10, call me now, to secure both boats for one of these dates! Don’t wait, secure one of these two days for your group.
Don't be fooled by the special low price. This is a rare deal. We are already down there on the 15th & 16th and the 17th & 18th opened up. The limit is 1 fish per day, per person and it must be fin-clipped in all the areas below the Bonneville Dam.
This is supposed to be the third largest return in the history of the Columbia River, with over 300,000 fish returning. If you have never experienced fishing for a Springer or tasted a Spring King you are missing out! They are hard fighting, chrome bright, full of fat and definitely the best eating salmon around!
We will be launching and fishing out of the Portland / Vancouver area, specifically the Portco boat launch at Marine Park. Your cost includes tax and all bait and tackle. We fish out of a 23 ½ foot Alumaweld Super Vee Pro and 250 HP Yamaha Jet. As you have seen on our website, we use only the best equipment available. G Loomis fishing Rods, Okuma fishing reels, Izorline fishing line and leader material, Vision fishing hooks. We use our extensive knowledge and a few secrets to put fish in the boat.
As always Ridge to River Outdoors and partner guides practice catch and release on the wild stock and put limits of fish in the boat for our clients.
Hotels abound in the Portland / Vancouver area. The Red Lion Inn in Vancouver is a good selection. The Red Lion Inn is located on the banks of the Columbia River for the Portland area Spring fishery. The Red Lion Inn in Vancouver that is located on the banks of the Columbia River right by the I-5 Bridge has a dock where we can pick you up in the morning. This location puts you right on the fishing area.
At the end of your fishing day we can drop you off at the dock and clean and bag your fish for you.
