Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing Near Astoria, Oregon
For many anglers, Buoy 10 salmon fishing is the main reason to visit Astoria.
The Buoy 10 fishery takes place near the mouth of the Columbia River and is widely known for its seasonal salmon runs. Returning Chinook and coho move through the lower Columbia on their way toward spawning tributaries farther upriver. R&S Sportfishing follows seasonal fish movement and changing river conditions to determine where and how to fish.
Rather than simply taking you to the same location every trip, Richard considers factors such as tides, currents, weather, fish movement and recent fishing activity when developing the day's strategy.
