Buoy 10 Salmon Fishing Near Warrenton, Oregon

For anglers visiting Warrenton during salmon season, Buoy 10 is one of the biggest attractions.


Located near the mouth of the Columbia River, Buoy 10 is famous for seasonal runs of returning Chinook and Coho salmon entering the river from the Pacific Ocean. These fish move through the Lower Columbia on their migration toward spawning waters farther upriver.


Fishing this area requires an understanding of a dynamic tidal environment. Current direction and speed can change throughout the day, productive travel lanes can shift, and salmon movement can be influenced by tides, weather, river conditions, and fishing pressure.


Captain Richard monitors those variables and adjusts the day's fishing strategy based on what is happening on the water. If you're searching for a Buoy 10 fishing guide near Warrenton, R&S Sportfishing can help you plan your trip around the seasonal fishing opportunities available.

Guided Salmon Fishing Near Warrenton

The Lower Columbia River provides some of the Pacific Northwest's most exciting salmon fishing opportunities.


Chinook are known for their size, power, and hard runs, while Coho provide fast-paced action and aggressive strikes when conditions line up.

But successful salmon fishing isn't simply about reaching the river.


Tides change. Currents move. Water conditions shift. Salmon travel through different areas as conditions develop. R&S Sportfishing provides guided salmon fishing near Warrenton for anglers who want experienced guidance, quality equipment, and a captain who continually evaluates the river rather than relying on the same location or strategy every trip.

Private Fishing Charters Near Warrenton

A private fishing charter gives your group the opportunity to experience the Columbia River together without being mixed into a large public fishing group. R&S Sportfishing offers personalized trips for families, friends, coworkers, and fellow anglers who want their fishing experience built around their own group.


Private trips can be especially valuable when fishing with children, beginners, mixed-experience groups, or experienced anglers who want to focus specifically on the day's best fishing opportunities.



Whether you're visiting Warrenton for an Oregon Coast vacation or planning the trip specifically to fish the Columbia River, we'll work to make your time on the water comfortable, productive, and memorable.

Fish the Columbia River Aboard Our 26-Foot Alumaweld

R&S Sportfishing operates a 26-foot Alumaweld designed for Pacific Northwest fishing. The boat provides a stable fishing platform with plenty of room for anglers to fish comfortably while carrying the equipment needed for professionally guided Columbia River trips.

Fish With an Experienced Columbia River Guide


Captain Richard Hassett has spent over 30 years learning the fisheries and changing conditions of the Pacific Northwest. On the Lower Columbia near Warrenton and Buoy 10, successful fishing often requires understanding how tides, currents, weather, and salmon movement interact throughout the day.

Richard pays attention to those changes.


Rather than simply returning to yesterday's productive location, he evaluates current conditions, recent fishing activity, fish movement, and the behavior of the river to determine when adjustments should be made.

That experience allows him to adapt fishing locations, techniques, and presentations as conditions develop.

For guests, the goal is straightforward: provide knowledgeable guidance and work throughout the trip to put anglers in the best possible position to catch fish.
