We're looking at partly cloudy skies today with temperatures climbing from the mid-50s this morning to around 68 degrees by afternoon. Light winds from the northwest at 5-8 mph will keep things comfortable on the water. Sunrise was at 5:25 am and sunset will be at 8:40 pm, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet.
The big news is the extended spring Chinook season! After the hearing last Tuesday, fishery managers have added more fishing days due to the stronger-than-expected upriver spring Chinook return. The latest forecast shows we're tracking well above the original numbers, so there's plenty of opportunity to land these prized salmon. The run is estimated at around 217,500 fish this year, which is significantly better than recent seasons.
Spring Chinook action has been solid, especially around Davis Bar and the head of Multnomah Channel. Most anglers are finding success in the later morning hours once the water warms up a bit. For bait, fresh-cured eggs or herring are producing well, while spinners in chartreuse and red have been the hot hardware.
Shad are also starting to show up in decent numbers in the lower Columbia. These hard-fighting fish provide great action when you find a school. Try small, bright lures - Dick Nite spoons and shad darts in silver, gold, or chartreuse have been working best.
For today's tide, we're looking at a high around 10:15 am and a low at 4:30 pm, which should make for good fishing during the morning outgoing tide.
If you're targeting sturgeon, remember the catch-and-release fishery is still going strong throughout the lower river, with some decent action reported near the Portland Airport area.
Hot spots today include the area around Portland International Airport for mixed salmon and sturgeon action, Scappoose Bay for coho and spring Chinook, and the Hood River area which has been consistently productive. The Bonneville Dam tailrace is also worth checking out if you're heading upriver.
Don't forget your 2025 license and Columbia River Basin Endorsement, and make sure you're up on the latest regulations - they've been changing frequently with these in-season adjustments.
That's the word from the water for today, folks. Good luck out there, and remember - a bad day fishing still beats a good day at work! This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time.
