We kicked off August in a big way here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters, with FCO boats spread from one end of the Columbia River to the other. From the mouth of the river all the way back to our home waters around the Tri-Cities, the crew was busy chasing salmon, walleye, and sturgeons. Pro Guide Blake made the trip west to Astoria and the famous Buoy 10 fishery, where the focus is now on Columbia River salmon. Just a little farther upriver, Pro Guide Mike has been working Drano Lake, chasing fall Chinook and getting clients in on one of our favorite salmon fisheries of the season. Meanwhile, the rest of the FCO team stayed busy closer to home, fishing out of Kennewick, Washington, and Irrigon, Oregon. The walleye crews continued putting fish in the boats, while our sturgeon trips gave clients the opportunity to battle some of the Columbia River’s biggest and hardest-fighting fish. [...]

The last week of July wrapped up another great month of fishing here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters. July was a hot one, both in temperatures and fishing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to finish out the month. The FCO fleet stayed busy chasing Columbia River walleye and sturgeon, with plenty of fish hitting the decks throughout the week. Our walleye crews continued putting clients on quality fish, while the sturgeon boats kept anglers busy battling some of the river’s biggest and hardest-fighting fish. Most importantly, we had a lot of happy clients stepping off the boats with smiles, fish stories, and memories made on the Columbia. That’s what keeps us doing what we do every day. Now we turn the page to August, and we’re looking forward to another great month on the water. There are plenty of fish left to catch and plenty of opportunities to get in on the [...]

The laughs were plentiful, the memories were priceless, and once again the Columbia delivered. At Fishers Catch Outfitters, dreams are made one cast at a time.

The second week of July turned into another outstanding week on the water for the Fisher's Catch Outfitters Pro Guides and the clients who joined them. We continued to split our time between Columbia River walleye and sturgeon, and both fisheries were producing great action. The walleye bite stayed consistent, with plenty of fish coming over the rails and clients heading home with coolers full of some of the best-eating fish the Columbia has to offer. On the sturgeon side, the river giants continued to put smiles on faces as anglers battled these incredible fish that made for an unforgettable experience. One of the best parts of the week was welcoming anglers from all over the country, including a great group that made the trip from Salt Lake City to experience Columbia River fishing. Watching clients travel hundreds of miles to fish with us and then seeing them leave with new memories, personal bests, and [...]

Well, we're back on the water after a great vacation and some awesome fishing in Hawaii! It was nice to get away for a little while, but we were ready to get back home and hit the Columbia River. This week, it was back to chasing walleye and sturgeon with a great lineup of clients ready to kick off July with a bang and that's exactly what we did. The entire FCO crew put in the work, getting clients on fish and making sure there were plenty of bent rods, big smiles, and great memories along the way. With the summer heat settling in, we've even started running some night walleye trips. It's a great way to beat the heat, enjoy a summer night on the Columbia, and put some walleye in the boat. July is off to a great start, and we're excited for everything the rest of the month has in store. Whether [...]

It was a little slower week for the Fisher's Catch Outfitters team on the Columbia River. While Miles and Tony took a well-earned break to enjoy a little saltwater fishing in Hawaii, the rest of the crew stayed home battling some relentless June winds. The weather made things challenging. High winds forced us to cancel a few trips, and on several days, it simply wasn't safe to get out on the water. But whenever Mother Nature gave us a window, our guides made the most of it, putting clients on fish and creating another batch of great memories. It's certainly been a windy June, but we're excited to turn the calendar to July. With a full schedule of trips already on the books and anglers eager to bend some rods, we're expecting another fantastic month on the Columbia. Our boats will be on the water every day in July, weather permitting, targeting walleye, sturgeon, and [...]

The third week of June kicked off much like the previous weeks, with our crew chasing walleye and sturgeon on the Columbia River out of Tri-Cities, Washington, and Umatilla, Oregon. Now is a great time to get in on the action. While the walleye bite has slowed slightly, the fish are still finding their way into the boats. Our crew are currently averaging around 20 walleye per day, and I expect the bite to improve in the coming weeks as conditions continue to develop. The sturgeon fishing, however, is absolutely on fire right now. With fish moving upriver toward the dams to spawn, we're seeing incredible numbers of giant sturgeons. This week alone, we landed several fish over 100 inches, with our largest stretching beyond the 120-inch mark. If you've never had the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with one of these Columbia River giants, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. The [...]
