Fishers Catch Outfitters Fishing Report
From Vernita to Umatilla: Fish Everywhere 10/06/2025
October has been a mixed month for us here at Fishers Catch Outfitters, with our Pro Guides putting in the work across the board—walleye, salmon, and sturgeon. From start to finish, it’s been an outstanding season of fishing, and today was a perfect example of making the most of every opportunity. Pro Guides Miles and Mike headed to the salmon grounds out of Vernita to represent FCO in the Disabled Veterans Fishing Derby—and brought home the win! Way to go, guys. Meanwhile, Pro Guide Pete was busy stacking up walleye for his clients, sending everyone home with full coolers and big smiles. From salmon to walleye to sturgeon, October has delivered incredible fishing, and we couldn’t be prouder of the memories made with our clients.
Strong Walleye and Sturgeon Action All Month Long 10/05/2025
October has been an incredible month of fishing on the Columbia, with both walleye and sturgeon keeping rods bent and clients smiling. Today was no different—the bite was strong, the action steady, and plenty of fish made it to the boat. From start to finish, it’s been a fall season to remember for everyone who’s joined us on the water.
Steady Action, Early Wrap-Up 10/4/2025
We continue to hit the walleye grounds and the bite just keeps producing. Today we launched out of Umatilla, Oregon, and spent the morning working the jig rods, pulling walleye up from the bottom of the Columbia. It was a quick half-day trip for Jay and J before they had to head back for work in the afternoon, but we made the most of it. The action was steady, and we wrapped things up early with plenty of fish in the boat. Another solid morning on the water!
Corporate Fishing Trips, FCO Style 10/03/2025
From the Tri-Cities to Plymouth, Washington, the FCO fleet was out in force today with four boats on the water to host the TruFrame group. It was a full day of walleye and sturgeon fishing, and the action didn’t disappoint. From start to finish, the rods stayed busy with plenty of walleye and some powerful Columbia River sturgeon making it to the deck. Whether it’s a small crew or a large corporate group, Fishers Catch Outfitters has you covered. Today was a banner day for everyone involved, and the memories made will last long after the coolers are filled.
Boat Loads of Walleye and Big Smiles 10/02/2025
Pro Guide Tony has been locked in on the walleye bite all fall, and today was no different. Returning client Feremin and his family joined us for a full day on the Columbia, and the action didn’t disappoint—a boat load of walleye and plenty of smiles to go with it. We love seeing familiar faces back on the water and making more memories together. No matter what species you’re after—walleye, sturgeon, or salmon—Fishers Catch Outfitters has you covered.
Columbia River Kings Are Calling 10/01/2025
Pro Guide Pete put in the work today—up early, out of the Tri-Cities, and on the road to the Vernita area of the Hanford Reach to get clients into some fall upriver Chinook. The effort paid off with fish in the boat and big smiles all around. The fall run is one of the best times to be on the Columbia, and spots for 2026 are already filling up. Now’s the time to get on the books and lock in your day!
Hanford Reach Salmon Deliver Again 09/30/2025
It was another great day back on the Hanford Reach, fishing out of Vernita at the upper end of the stretch. The crew went home with limits, but more importantly, the day was filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of fun battling these hard-fighting salmon. The fall run continues to deliver, and the memories made on the water are just as good as the fish in the cooler.
From Tri-Cities to Umatilla: Big Day on the Columbia 09/29/2025
Today we left the Tri-Cities and headed down to Umatilla, Oregon, for a walleye and sturgeon combo trip with our clients. The morning started with steady walleye action, putting plenty of fish in the boat before we shifted gears to the sturgeon grounds. From there, the rods bent and the battles began—everyone got in on the action and experienced the power of these Columbia River giants. It was a fun-filled day with plenty of fishing, plenty of smiles, and memories made on the water.
Hanford Reach Keeps Producing 09/28/2025
It’s been back-to-back days on the Hanford Reach chasing salmon, and back-to-back success with fish in the boat.
