Columbia
River
Fishing Guides Organization
Columbia
River Fishing Guides association is a group
of private citizens and fishing guides living in the Columbia River area in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. Our purpose and goal is to help fishing guides educate people around the
world about the Columbia River and it's vast beauty and resources.
Salmon fishing on the Columbia
River by Columbia River fishing guides is good because local Sturgeon
keeper Sturgeon oversize Sturgeon and Columbia River fishing guides
catch more Sturgeon. If you know "how to catch Salmon" and "how to catch
Salmon" you will fish the Columbia river with knowledgeable fishing
guides and charter boats. Charters book fishing trips for half day trips
and full day trips on the Columbia River.
The Columbia River
Fishing Guides
Columbia River Fishing Guides: The Columbia River drains a 259,000-square-mile basin that includes
territory in seven states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
Wyoming, and Utah) and one Canadian province. The river is arguably the
most significant environmental force in the Pacific Northwest region of
the United States. It flows for more than 1,200 miles, from the base of
the Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia to the Pacific
Ocean at Astoria, Oregon, and Ilwaco, Washington. Although humans have
lived along the river for more than 10,000 years, modern engineering in
the 19th and 20th centuries has dramatically altered the Columbia.
Astoria fishing is great with fishing guides who fish the lower Columbia
River.

Gimme-A-Go Fishing Adventures -
Sturgeon and Salmon in Oregon
In Oregon, sturgeon and salmon
have long been the highlights of
our fishing legacy. As your
fishing guide, I will offer you
an opportunity for that Pacific
Northwest fishing trip you will
want to tell all your friends
about. Oversized sturgeon that
are more than 10 feet long! King
salmon and coho salmon are in
record numbers! Great-tasting
walleye fish are plentiful! Both
summer steelhead and winter
steelhead are sure to get your
heart pumping. And shad fishing
is as fun as it gets.
Fishing like that in the beauty
of the Oregon's Columbia River
Gorge just can't be beat!
Besides the Columbia River, we
also lead exciting fishing trips
for sturgeon, salmon, steelhead,
and shad on Oregon rivers such
as the Willamette River, Sandy
River, Clackamas River and the
Wilson River near Tillamook Bay
in Oregon. |

Carp.
Description: The Columbia
originates in two lakes that lie between the Continental Divide and
Selkirk mountain ranges in British Columbia. The river's course is
convoluted. It flows north for its first 200 or more miles, then it
turns south and runs to the international border. Within the United
States, the river courses southwest and skirts one of the Columbia
Plateau's massive lava flows, then it turns to the southeast, cutting a
dramatic gorge in the volcanic shield to its junction with the westward
flowing Snake River. From its confluence with the Snake, the Columbia
runs nearly due west to the Pacific Ocean. Fifteen percent of the basin
-- 39,000 square miles -- lies in Canada and the largest of the river's
major tributaries is the Snake River, itself more than 1,100 miles long.
The Columbia River Basin includes a diverse ecology that ranges from
temperate rain forests to semi-arid plateaus, with precipitation levels
from 110 inches to 6 inches per year. Contact the
Columbia River
Fishing Guide
Most important, perhaps, the Columbia is a snow-charged river that
seasonally fluctuates in volume. Its annual average discharge is 160
million acre-feet of water, with the highest volumes between April and
September, the lowest from December to February. From its source at
2,650 feet above sea level, the river drops an average of more than 2
feet per mile, but in some sections it falls nearly 5 feet per mile.
The Columbia has ten major tributaries: the Kootenay, Okanagan,
Wenatchee, Spokane, Yakima, Snake, Deschutes, Willamette, Cowlitz, and
Lewis rivers. Its most important tributary, the Snake, flows across a
semi-arid plain and runs through the deepest gorge in North America,
Hell's Canyon -- 7,900 feet deep. The Deschutes and Willamette rivers
drain basins south of the Columbia, while the Yakima, Lewis, and Cowlitz
rivers drain areas on the north side of the river.

by Simon Benson.

The Columbia River Gorge:
The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river canyon cutting the only
sea-level route through the Cascade Mountain Range. It's 80 miles long
and up to 4,000 feet deep with the north canyon walls in Washington
State and the south canyon walls in Oregon State.
Recreation: Hiking, mountain biking, windsurfing, camping,
fishing, boating, wildlife watching, birding, wildflower viewing,
photography, picnicking, rock climbing. You can do all this and more in
the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
Waterfalls: Through millenniums of geologic events, waterfalls
have found their home in the Columbia River Gorge. A visit to the area
is not complete without a visit to its breathtaking waterfalls.
Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the United
States. Though Multnomah Falls is grand and popular, all of the falls in
the Gorge are special and breathtaking.
History: For over
31,000 years, the Columbia River Gorge has supported flourishing
civilizations. Evidence of the Folsom and Marmes people, who crossed the
Great Continental Divide from Asia, were found in archaeological digs.
Excavations at Five Mile Rapids, a few miles east of The Dalles, show
humans have occupied this ideal salmon fishing site for more than 10,000
years.
Geology: The Columbia
River Plateau was created by a series of basalt flows. The flows covered
164,000 square kilometers -- portions of northeast Oregon, southwest
Washington and western Idaho. |
