The fourth week of April has been a productive one for the Fisher’s Catch Outfitters crew, with fish hitting the deck across the board. This week we’ve been catching walleye, salmon, and sturgeon and all three species are playing. Looking ahead, we’re expecting an excellent month of May. Our walleye boats will be running out of Irrigon, Oregon, trolling and jigging up some quality fish. The sturgeon boats are also launching out of Irrigon, targeting those Columbia River giants and delivering that true “river monster” experience. Downriver, our salmon boats are fishing out of Drano Lake, putting delicious springers in the box and keeping the action steady for those chasing one of the best-tasting salmon around. No matter what kind of fishing you’re looking for, walleye, sturgeon, or salmon we’ve got you covered here on the Columbia River. There’s something for everyone, and the bite is on. Get in touch and get on the books [...]

Week three of April is always a special one here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters and this year was no different. With pre-spawn walleye fishing, the kickoff of catch and release sturgeon season, and opening day of turkey season, it was a busy and action packed week for the FCO crew. We spent our days spread out across the region, chasing both fish and birds. Pro Guide Steve got it done on opening day, tagging a nice Oregon tom, while I spent time chasing birds around Spokane and the farms of Pomeroy. It’s hard to beat this time of year when you can mix in both hunting and fishing in the same week. In between hunts, we stayed focused on what we do best, putting clients on fish. The walleye bite continues to be strong in this pre-spawn window, and we made sure the folks fishing with us got in on the action. Plenty of fish [...]

The second week of April proved to be another great one for the folks who joined us on the water. We continued to stay on the walleye bite throughout the Columbia and Snake Rivers, while also doing a little pre-scouting for upcoming Columbia River sturgeon trips. The weather lined up perfectly this week, making for great fishing conditions, and the crew took full advantage. Walleyes were hitting the deck using all three major methods pulling crankbaits, bottom-walking harnesses, and jigging. That said, this week really leaned toward the crankbait bite, with fish actively chasing and reacting to that louder presentation. The walleye was aggressive and feeding well, which made for steady action and a lot of happy clients. It’s always a good sign when you can mix methods and still stay on fish, and this week checked all the boxes. All in all, another strong week here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters. Now is the time [...]

April has kicked off with a bang here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters. As always, the team is staying after it chasing walleye on both the Columbia and Snake Rivers, fishing out of the Tri-Cities, Washington and Umatilla, Oregon. Right now, the walleye is active and feeding hard as they push toward the spawn this month. We’re finding success across the board jig and worm, jig and plastics, and trolling crankbaits are all producing. Now, they’re not too picky and will hit just about anything we’re putting in front of them. That said, we do expect things to shift as the spawn gets underway. The fish will still be there, but they’ll get a little more stubborn and less aggressive, which means anglers may need to slow down and work a bit harder to stay on the bite for a couple weeks. But right now? The bite is strong. This is the way to take advantage [...]

Man, oh man what a week it was for the Fisher’s Catch Outfitters Pro Guides. The third week of March brought us a little bit of everything, and the team stayed busy on both the Columbia and Snake Rivers, putting clients on fish day and night. With the trophy walleye bite still going strong after dark, our night trips continued to produce quality fish, including several pushing into that coveted Dirty 30 range. A few anglers checked off bucket-list catches, landing new personal bests and earning some well-deserved bragging rights. The night bite had its ups and downs, but the guys stayed after it and made it happen. During the day, it was all about filling coolers. The guides worked hard to stay on the eater walleye bite, and it paid off. Plenty of fish came over the rails, giving clients the opportunity to head home with full bags and plans for some great fish [...]

It was another banner week of fishing for the Fisher’s Catch Outfitters crew here in the third week of March. The team delivered an unforgettable experience for clients, covering everything from daytime eater walleye to nighttime trophy hunts. Plenty of eater-sized fish hit the boats for those looking to fill their freezers, while the trophy crews put in the work after dark and were rewarded with Dirty 30s hitting the deck. Several anglers walked away with new personal bests and of course, a little Dirty 30 jewelry to remember it by. Big fish, full bags, and memories made all week long. That’s what it’s all about.

Another Strong Week on the Water  and also anther banner show week in Sandy, Utah for Tony and his wife Angel.  It was another solid week of fishing for the Fisher’s Catch Outfitters Pro Guides. We stayed busy on both the Columbia and Snake River, chasing walleye day and night. The guides put clients on trophy walleye after dark and quality eater walleye during the day, keeping rods bent and coolers filling up. There was no shortage of fish, and more importantly, no shortage of smiles. From first-time anglers to seasoned fishermen, everyone had a great time on the water. If you’re looking to get out and experience this kind of fishing for yourself, give us a call at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters and get your trip or seat reserved. We look forward to fishing with you.

The Fishers Catch Outfitters team was back on the Columbia River kicking off the first week of March with some awesome fishing. It was a strong start to the season, with the crew covering multiple fisheries and putting clients on fish across the board. Some of the team took advantage of the one-day keeper sturgeon opener downriver, finding success and sending clients home with fresh fish. Meanwhile, the rest of the captains stayed on the grind, targeting daytime eater walleye and chasing trophy fish after dark. The daytime bite has been solid, with eater walleye hitting the deck while jigging and running worm harnesses. As the sun goes down, the action shifts gear the night crews are getting it done, putting clients on trophy walleye using vertical jigs and HAVOC HD30s. It’s shaping up to be a great start to the spring season, and the FCO team is dialed in and ready to keep the [...]

We just wrapped up a great group from North Dakota and rolled straight into a few days on the water with an awesome crew out of Wyoming. Today we were joined by Joe, Lynn, and Dave all on a mission to chase down those coveted “dirty 30” walleye. Lynn checked that box with us last season, but Joe has been grinding it out for the past four years trying to land his. Well… this was his year. Joe not only broke that 30-inch mark but went even bigger—landing an absolute Columbia River giant at 31 inches. A true trophy and a moment well earned. We covered water from the Tri-Cities, Washington down to Boardman, Oregon, working both the Columbia and Snake Rivers to make it happen. When you put in time and stay after it, days like this are what it’s all about. While we were doing our part to get things done on our [...]
