Columbia River Portland Fishing Report Today

Artificial Lure here, bringing you the Columbia River fishing report for Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. It’s a classic late-fall morning in Portland—overcast and cool, with light drizzle hanging in the air and temps hovering in the upper 40s. The wind’s just enough to ripple the water, but not enough to keep you off the river. Sunrise was at 7:24 AM and you’ll have good light until sunset at 4:32 PM, plenty of time to track down a bite before that early dusk settles in.

The tides today around the Portland stretch of the Columbia are running moderate. According to St Helens tide predictions, we’ve got a low around 9:41 AM, gearing up to a high in the neighborhood of 2:30 PM. With these swings, the best fishing will fall on the changing tides, especially a couple hours before and after the lows and highs. Traditionally, outgoing tides draw the baitfish out, and that’s when predators like walleye and sturgeon perk up.

Weather-wise, the week’s been on-and-off rain—think damp and cool, with daytime highs in the low 50s and nighttime lows dipping to the upper 30s. The cloud cover is steady, which means good fishing conditions throughout midday, as lower light can make even picky salmonids a bit less tentative (Tillamook County Pioneer’s weather update backs that up).

Fish activity has been solid for late November. The big story continues to be the tail end of the fall Chinook salmon and coho runs. While things have slowed compared to peak, folks putting in the time below Bonneville and up toward the mouth of the Willamette are still plucking some bright late-season Chinook—think in the 10–18 lb range. Coho are mostly colored up but there’s still some decent action on fresher fish at places like Meldrum Bar. Reports from ODFW and angler chatter say that a few steelhead are showing up below Bonneville as the winter run starts to trickle in. Walleye fishing’s picking up again, especially around the deeper ledges near Kalama and the Portland Harbor. And of course, the sturgeon bite is consistent near the mouth of the Willamette and in the Scappoose Bay stretches, with good numbers if not a lot of legal keepers.

Hot spots to try today:

- **Bonneville Dam tailrace** – Ideal for late salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon; work eddies and deep water off the main current.

- **St. Helens / Scappoose Bay** – Shallow backwaters and drop-offs hold walleye and sturgeon; good access from local launches.

If you’re looking for bank access, check out **Meldrum Bar** for coho or winter steelhead prospects.

For baits and lures:

- **Chinook and coho**: Kwikfish wrapped with sardine or herring, bright spinners (chartreuse and orange or pink), or cured eggs under a bobber.

- **Walleye**: Blade baits, worm harnesses tipped with a nightcrawler, and soft plastics on 1/2 oz jigs fished slow on bottom contours.

- **Sturgeon**: Smelt, squid, or herring, fished on the bottom with enough weight to stay put in the current.

- **Steelhead**: Small spoons and pink worms, or cured roe u

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, bringing you your Columbia River fishing report for the Portland stretch on Monday, November 24, 2025.

First off, sunrise came at 7:22 AM this morning and we’ll see sundown at 4:32 PM today. With cloud cover rolling in and a chilly start in the low 40s, expect overcast skies and a north wind pushing 10–15 mph. The National Weather Service is keeping a Small Craft Advisory out at the mouth, so use caution in any of the broader, exposed sections of the river and stick close to shore if you’re in a small vessel.

Let’s talk tides. Down near Vancouver, high tide hit around 8:59 AM at just over 2.5 feet, with a low tide coming at 4:21 AM and another falling off just before sunset. This means the bite should be best on that ebb flow late morning through early afternoon. Slack tide around noon is usually your window for bigger sturgeon and migrating coho stops, especially if you’re west of the I-5 bridge.

Recent catches have been colorful. The last few days saw solid numbers of **coho** and **chinook salmon** still moving up, though we're well into the tail end of the runs. **Steelhead** action’s been spotty—some anglers reporting a few bright fish near Kelly Point and the Willamette junction. Closer to downtown and the Morrison Street Bridge, the **walleye** bite is surprisingly lively, with several locals landing 18- to 24-inchers on chartreuse jigs tipped with nightcrawlers. Look for **smallmouth bass** around rocky outcrops, especially between Cathedral Park and Sauvie Island.

If you’re after sturgeon, the lower river’s holding plenty of shakers with the occasional keeper. Reports coming out of St. Helens and near the mouth of Multnomah Channel say squid and smelt are your best bait right now. I’d skip herring for sturgeon—too many missed takes.

Lure choice for salmon: bright spinners (Blue Fox #4 or #5), orange and pink yarn balls, or a plug-cut herring drifted deep. For steelhead, pink or red worms and soft beads below a float are working, especially in sunny glides and drop-offs.

Bass anglers: go with green pumpkin tubes or 3-inch paddle tail swimbaits in shad color. Walleye are keyed in on silver or gold blades and soft plastics—Fishbrain reports that St. Helens and the upstream flats near Vancouver Lake are still good bets for numbers.

Today’s local hot spots:

- **Kelly Point Park**: Good for steelhead and coho near the Willamette-Columbia confluence

- **Sauvie Island north shore**: Sturgeon and smallmouth action solid around structure and drop-offs

- **Morrison Bridge stretch**: Walleye and evening bass bite, especially if you can cast near current breaks

If you’re boat-bound, keep an eye out for floating debris—river’s up a tick with weekend rains. Bank fishing is steady, but watch footing and the currents on bends.

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Columbia River, Portland area fishing report for Friday, November 21, 2025.

Sunrise hit at 7:18 this morning, sunset will be at 4:34 pm according to Portland Tides. Tides at Morrison Street Bridge are running low at 3:28 am, coming high at 7:23 am, low again mid-afternoon, and a high at 6:10 pm, so anglers working early or late will hit changing waters, which usually perks fish up. Temperatures are holding steady in the mid-40s with thick clouds and scattered showers — pretty classic late November weather here on the river.

The salmon game is winding down fast, but not entirely over. Fall Chinook fishing has become spotty. ODFW's Columbia Zone update as of yesterday confirms the salmonid creel surveys wrapped up for the year, but some late Chinook are being scratched out in the deeper channels and at creek mouths. No wild coho retention is allowed, and hatchery coho numbers have sharply dropped in mainstem tributaries. Your best chance at any remaining salmon is near river mouths and deeper holes below the I-205 Bridge or Sauvie Island sloughs. Rain in the forecast could shake loose a few more fish moving up.

For sturgeon, recent reports from The Dalles Pool have a few legal keepers mixed in among catch-and-release action, with a couple over-legal monsters giving anglers a workout. Bonneville Pool is closed to sturgeon retention but you can still get some catch-and-release fun out there. Shore anglers working sand flats and deep drop-offs with smelt or squid are still seeing some bites — remember to check specific area regulations.

If it’s walleye you want, things are picking up in The Dalles Pool — checkers noted 18 walleye kept for four boats last week. Drifting downstream from the mouth of the Sandy River or off Rooster Rock with chartreuse jigs and nightcrawlers remains a solid formula for success.

Bass are slowing with the cold, but a few locals are still tossing deep-diving crankbaits and soft plastics near structure, especially in shallow backwaters. Look for warmer water during sunny spells and slow your retrieve way down.

The best producing lures right now:

- For Chinook: big spinners (size 5-6), Cut Plug herring, and Mag Lip plugs in metallic/chartreuse.

- For sturgeon: fresh smelt, anchovies, or squid.

- For walleye: jig heads with nightcrawler trailers, and blade baits in silver or gold.

Live bait is key right now for lethargic predators. For those set on plugs, use strong scents like sardine or anise to entice bites in the chilly water.

Hot spots today include the mouth of the Willamette near Kelley Point Park, and the Columbia’s Multnomah Channel. Sauvie Island’s Gilbert River and Steamboat Slough are still seeing occasional salmon catches, especially after rain pulses.

If you're planning ahead, mark your calendar for free fishing statewide on Nov. 28 and 29 — no licenses or tags needed, but all regulations still apply, so it's a good time to bring out new anglers.

That's the s

Artificial Lure reporting live from the banks of the mighty Columbia River here in Portland on Thursday, November 20th, 2025, where the late-fall bite is battling cooler weather and changing river conditions.

First light hit the water at 7:17 am this morning, and you can expect sunset tonight around 4:36 pm. The sky’s serving up thick clouds and occasional drizzle; winds are light, temps hovering in the upper 40s—classic November in the Northwest, just enough nip in the air to keep your hands in your pockets but perfect for chasing the season’s last coho and walleye.

According to Fishing Reminder and NOAA tides, today’s tidal swings are gentle: low tide at 7:55 am followed by high at 12:34 pm, low again around 7:51 pm, and another high at 10:48 pm. Best fishing windows line up with the major bite time from 5:35 am to 7:35 am and again from 5:50 pm to 7:50 pm. Aim to fish when that water’s moving, either side of those slack tides, for aggressive takes.

Now for the fish news: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s latest check at Bonneville Pool shows late coho is the name of the game, with 32 landed and a jack or two for local boaters. Sturgeon retention remains closed, but for those chasing catch-and-release, a handful of over-legal monsters were reported in The Dalles Pool. Walleye are putting up numbers too, especially in The Dalles Pool area, where four boats brought home 18 solid keepers in the last cycle.

Steelhead and chinook runs up the interior basin are lean this year—a reminder of ongoing conservation battles, especially above Bonneville, with only 14 wild Snake River sockeye making it to spawn in Idaho. Most fall chinook have faded, and shad won’t return until spring, but persistent anglers working deep slots and seams with wobbling plugs or drifting eggs near the tributary mouths are still finding a few late steelies.

For baits and tackle: coho prefer flashy spoons and spinners—think silver, chartreuse, and pink. Walleye are snapping up bright blade baits, heavier jigs tipped with worm, or minnow-imitation cranks. If you’re targeting sturgeon, bring along herring, smelt, or squid, always remembering those catch-and-release regs.

Hot spots this week: Give Riverplace Marina and Tomahawk Bay Moorage a shot for land-based success, especially at dawn or dusk on moving water. Swan Island and the Columbia Way West Marina also delivered solid walleye and resident trout catches. For the boaters, Bonneville Pool and the sloughs around Kelley Point remain reliable, while The Dalles Pool is the ticket for walleye and adrenaline-pumping sturgeon battles—even if they’re only for the photo.

Stay up-to-date with the latest ODFW regulations, especially since fall management rules adjust weekly, and check health advisories—Columbia River fish may carry elevated mercury and PCBs, so follow proper consumption guidelines.

With the salmonids winding down and the winter steelhead prep ramping up, now’s your time to enjoy the river’s late autumn magi

Morning’s crisp out here on the Columbia, and the sun’s just peeking over the ridge, coming up at 7:16 a.m. and setting early tonight at 4:35 p.m. The tide’s running low at 12:57 a.m. at 0.51 feet, then high at 5:31 a.m. at 1.94 feet, another low at 11:28 a.m. at 0.68 feet, and a big high tide at 5:05 p.m. at 3.12 feet. The water’s cold and clear, and the air’s sharp—perfect for fall fishing if you’re dressed right.

The bite’s been steady, especially for coho salmon and walleye. Anglers are pulling in some nice coho, with a few fish hitting the 10-pound mark, and walleye are showing up in decent numbers, mostly in the 2- to 4-pound range. There’s been a mix of hatchery and wild fish, but most reports say the hatchery coho are the ones getting hooked. Steelhead are starting to show up, but it’s still early in the run.

For coho, bright spoons and small spinners are working best, especially in the morning and evening when the fish are most active. Try casting near the deeper holes and along the edges where the current slows. For walleye, jigging with soft plastics or live bait like minnows near the bottom is paying off. Some folks are having luck with nightcrawlers and shrimp, but the spoons and jigs are outshining the bait right now.

If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, try the area around the Morrison Street Bridge and the stretch near the confluence with the Willamette. Both spots have been productive lately, especially during the high tide when the water’s moving and the fish are feeding.

Artificial Lure with the Columbia River fishing report for Portland, Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

Today kicked off with a crisp November chill—sunrise at 7:21am and sunset coming up quick at 4:39pm, bringing only about 9 hours of good daylight to wet a line, so keep that in mind for your evening sessions. According to Tides.net, Astoria’s tide swings are pronounced: low at 5:38am, a peak high at 11:32am (8.7 feet), then dropping out for an evening low at 6:36pm just below zero; these numbers are mirrored upriver near Portland and Vancouver, so time your casting for that late morning push with the incoming tide for best action.

Tillamook County Pioneer’s weather update shows we’re deep in the rainy season but slipped into a cooler, drier patch briefly today—highs cap out near 53 degrees, overnight lows dip close to 38. Expect a mix of patchy fog early and clouds rolling in later, winds gentle out of the east at 5-10mph. Dry spells in the morning are your best bet before rain returns tonight, so early birds should make the most of it.

Fish activity in the Columbia remains solid for late fall. Lower river catches have been dominated by coho salmon with some lingering chinook still being hooked, especially around Sauvie Island and Government Island; local anglers reported several nice limits over the weekend, and pound nets set downstream have supported a steady harvest, marking a big change in river management after more than 75 years according to the Chinook Observer. Fresh coho are still chrome-bright, though if you’re chasing steelhead and resident rainbows, focus on deeper seams as water temperatures continue to drop.

Bass anglers are switching gears for winter, but smallmouth remain active around rocky ledges—particularly near the mouth of the Willamette and further east at Frenchmen’s Bar and Kelley Point Park. Walleye continue to bite in slow-moving stretches above the I-5 Bridge; try trolling along the Multnomah Channel, where recent catches have weighed in at 2 to 6 pounds per fish.

Your best lures today are going to be brighter patterns under the overcast—chartreuse and silver spoons for coho, flame-orange Mag Lips and Wiggle Warts for chinook, and soft plastics for walleye and bass. For bait, fresh sand shrimp and cured salmon eggs were the ticket this week for salmon, while worm-tipped jigs are consistently productive for walleye. For sturgeon, which are strictly catch-and-release but always a thrill, herring chunks and squid remain top performers near the St. Johns Bridge.

As for hot spots, here are two local favorites:

- Government Island: Great mixed-bag action for salmon, sturgeon, and some surprise smallmouth. Anchor up near the drop-offs during the morning high tide.

- Multnomah Channel (from Scappoose Bay to the confluence): Walleye and bass are hungrily prowling, with quieter traffic during weekdays for those seeking solitude.

Crabbing and shrimping action reports have picked up at the river entrance for those heading west,

Good morning, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Columbia River and Portland area fishing report for Monday, November 17th, 2025.

We’re waking up to classic mid-November conditions on the river—a crisp 40-degree morning and patchy clouds overhead, with rain likely settling in late and a high near 50. Winds out of the east should be mild early, picking up a bit into the afternoon. Sunrise was at 7:20 AM, with sunset coming early at 4:40 PM. So if you want that late bite, plan around that short daylight window. We’re running with a first quarter moon, with moonrise at 4:54 AM and moonset around 3:10 PM.

Tide action at the Skipanon River near Astoria looks dynamic: low at 4:45 this morning (2.2 feet), a big high at 10:57 AM (8.8 feet), and then dropping down to nearly zero at 5:42 PM. These strong tide swings should get fish moving and concentrating in channels and at current breaks, especially around those incoming and outgoing turns. Portland proper is showing a low tide at 7:55 AM, high at 12:34 PM, with another low at 7:51 PM according to Fishing Reminder. With the outgoing tide syncing up with the late morning and early afternoon bite, be sure to target those hour or two windows right before and after tide change for best results.

Fish activity is solid for this time of year. According to last night’s local Columbia River fishing update, “coho are still trickling in,” and even though prime silver numbers have tailed off, late-run fish remain, mainly upriver from Portland toward Multnomah Channel. Anglers have been reporting hookups on both coho and a surprising number of steelhead—those cool, overcast mornings seem to bring the best luck. Sturgeon action around Portland and Vancouver has picked up too, with several keepers (and plenty of oversize) reported between Kelly Point and the mouth of the Willamette. Keep in mind retention is tight, but the catch-and-release bite is hot. Few walleye are showing up in the sloughs below St. Johns, and the smallmouth bite is slow but not done, especially where the sun hits rocky banks midday.

Recent catches: reports from Tomahawk Bay and Hayden Island last evening tallied four coho, most around 6-8 pounds, plus two decent steelhead and several legal shakers sturgeon. The fish seem to be moving deeper, so focus on 15-25 feet of water early, shifting shallower as the light grows. Best lures right now: bright spinners (size 3-5 Blue Fox in chartreuse or orange), Brad’s Super Baits stuffed with tuna, or cut-plug herring on a slow troll. For sturgeon, fresh smelt or sand shrimp on the bottom remains king. Walleye specialists have been running worm harnesses or small chartreuse crankbaits at dawn.

If you’re heading out, two hot spots worth your time:

- Tomahawk Bay Moorage and the nearby Columbia Way West Marina—good for both boaters and shore access, and the river current swings right by both spots.

- Kelly Point Park—where Willamette meets Columbia. It’s a classic for late fall sturgeon and the odd sal

Good morning, folks. It’s Artificial Lure here with your Columbia River and Portland fishing report for Sunday, November 16th, 2025. The sun came up this morning around 6:50 AM, and we’re looking at a mostly clear day with temperatures climbing into the mid-50s. Sunset tonight is at 5:35 PM, so you’ve got a solid window to get out and wet a line.

Tides on the Columbia are running mild today. At Kalama, the first high tide was at 1:55 AM, and the next low tide is coming in at 1:04 PM, with water levels just under a half foot. These small tides mean the river’s moving steady but not too fast, which is perfect for targeting fish holding in the deeper runs.

Fish activity is picking up, especially upstream of Bonneville Dam. Anglers are still finding a few bright coho near the mouth of the Klickitat River, but most of the salmon are starting to turn dark as they move into spawning mode. The bite is spotty, but there are still some nice fish to be had. Winter steelhead counts are starting to climb, with a handful already making their way up the system. Sturgeon fishing is quiet, but if you’re patient, there’s always a sleeper chance.

Last week, the Willamette Falls fish count showed 20 to 50 adult salmon passing through daily, and over 24,000 coho have already moved above the falls, with many headed for the North Santiam. The action is strongest in the lower stretches, but the recent rains are pushing fish higher. On the Clackamas, anglers are starting to see some fresh B-run wild coho, and a few winter steelhead have been confirmed near Meldrum Bar.

For gear, stick to lures and artificial flies—bait’s been off the table since November 1st. Twitching jigs and bobber-and-bead rigs are working well for coho, especially in the deeper holes. For steelhead, try slow-retrieved spinners or nymphs like the Possie Bugger or Jigged Hare’s Ear. Bright streamers and egg patterns are also drawing attention from the trout and steelhead in the McKenzie and Coast Fork Willamette.

If you’re looking for a couple of hot spots, focus on the stretch above Bonneville Dam, especially around the Klickitat mouth, and don’t overlook the lower Clackamas near Dodge Park. Both are producing solid numbers, and the water’s in good shape.

Hey everyone, Artificial Lure here with your Columbia River fishing report for Saturday, November 15, 2025, coming to you straight from the banks and backwaters around Portland, Oregon.

We’re rolling into mid-November and fall feels settled in. This morning started chilly—temps in the low 40s, creeping toward the low 50s by midday. There’s a steady overcast, but wind’s holding light at about 5 to 10 miles per hour. Sunrise was right about 7:10 a.m., so if you’re listening early, there’s still plenty of daylight ahead. Sunset will sneak in at 4:39 p.m. today—short fishing windows, so plan those casts carefully.

Turning our attention to the tides, the Columbia around Vancouver runs a high tide at 2:25 a.m. and then drops to a low at 9:35 a.m., according to Tide-Forecast. That means your early shot—say from first light through mid-morning—is at falling water. If you like fishing outflows and textbook current seams, that’s prime. Incoming tide picks up again after lunch; expect flows to ease by late afternoon.

Last week’s rains have brought in some color, but flows are holding manageable—just a touch higher than summer glass, which actually helps push fish close to shore. The Guides’ Forecast notes coho are moving into tributaries with the rain but action’s slowed in the mainstem. Most local steelhead are still weeks out, but there’s always the chance for an early winter-run stray.

Catch reports this week are classic late-fall Columbia—mixed bags in both the main river and sloughs:

- **Walleye** have been biting in the Multnomah Channel and down around Kalama. Jigging blade baits or pulling worm harnesses near the bottom in deeper slots is taking some eater-sized fish. Try Fire Tiger or perch pattern blades for stained water.

- **Sturgeon** is strictly catch-and-release for now; retention is closed and Bonneville/Dalles pools won’t open early this year, according to the East Oregonian.

- **Coho salmon** action is slowing in the lower river. Anglers tossing spinners and twitching jigs near the mouths of tributaries like the Sandy have managed a few brighter fish, but numbers are dropping as the run wraps up.

- A handful of **bass** and **pike minnow** are biting mid-day if you’re working the Willamette sloughs, but the bite is slowing as water temps drop.

For bait and lures that are producing:

- For **walleye**, go with a chartreuse or gold jig tipped with a nightcrawler, or try vertical jigging a 3/8 oz blade near drop-offs.

- **Coho** are still taking orange and pink twitching jigs, as well as classic blue-silver #4 spinners early in the day.

- **Sturgeon** will always love fresh-smelt, but some locals swear by anchovies or squid just above the channel ledges, if you’re just looking for a tug.

- For bank anglers, a simple nightcrawler or sand shrimp rig is always a solid bet near rock and gravel transitions, especially on a moving tide.

Hot spots to target right now:

- **Kelley Point Park** is still giving up some late coho and sturgeon action

Artificial Lure here, coming to you from the banks of the mighty Columbia River around Portland with your narrative fishing report for Friday, November 14th, 2025.

We woke up to a classic November morning: mist lingering over the water, chilly under partly cloudy skies, with rain in the forecast as we head deeper into fall. According to Tide-Forecast.com, today’s tidal swing at Vancouver shows a high tide at 1:10 a.m. at 1.92 feet, a low at 8:56 a.m. at 0.31 feet, and another strong high at 2:28 p.m. reaching 2.3 feet. These change-ups mean fish will be on the move, especially around the slack tides. Official sunrise is 7:09 a.m., with sunset coming early at 4:40 p.m.

Recent action on the river has been decent, with some solid (but winding down) coho catches reported upstream of Westport, and an uptick in steelhead bites as we march into cooler weather. The Guide’s Forecast notes the mainstem Columbia is closed to salmon above West Puget Island, but many anglers have been taking their rods to the tributaries—and there’s still coho chaos upstream and in select metro zones. Fishable numbers remain, even if not what we saw last year.

Down in the sloughs, sturgeon activity is picking up as temps drop. Most keepers are still out deep, but don’t be afraid to work those back eddies near Sauvie Island or Kelly Point this time of year. Anglers willing to brave chilly mornings are finding success with sand shrimp and nightcrawlers. Walleye are also present, mainly at the mouth of Multnomah Channel, hitting on deep-diving crankbaits—orange and silver, especially at daybreak.

Bass action has slowed as water temps cool, but some persistence around rocky banks in the Willamette and lower Columbia is producing bites on smaller plastics like 4-inch Senkos and tubes fished slow. Warmer afternoons could get them moving shallow.

For coho and steelhead, top lures now are Brad’s Wigglers, Mag Lips, and spinners—#3 to #5 blue/silver or chartreuse. If you’re float fishing, a pink worm below a small jig tipped with shrimp is hot in higher water. Bait casting? Try fresh sand shrimp or eggs dusted in anise and krill oil, especially right after a rain.

Crabbing remains open in estuaries and off the main river and is reporting excellent quality—shells are hard and the crabs are full of meat according to the ODFW recreation report. Check the shellfish closures before heading out. The occasional stray Chinese mitten crab (an invasive species) has been spotted, so report those if you catch one.

Hot spots today include:

- **Kelly Point Park**: good for sturgeon and rain-dependent salmonids early.

- **Sauvie Island boat ramp**: lots of deep holes and good for late coho, steelhead, and even walleye.

- **Mouth of Multnomah Channel**: active for walleye, and the fall bass bite.

- **Government Island sloughs**: still holding some keepers and has been consistent for crabbing as well.

All told, fish activity is fair to good with species mix including coho, steelhead, sturgeon,
