FCO Pro Guide “The Legend” hit the road early out of the Tri-Cities, making the run over to Irrigon, Oregon to put walleye in the boat for Kurt and the gang. The early start paid off in a big way. It turned into an absolute great day on the water for everyone involved. The troll bite stayed hot all day, and it was fish after fish hitting the deck. Quality walleye came over the rail steadily, keeping rods loaded and smiles wide from start to finish. When the bite stays that consistent, it’s hard to ask for anything more. Another successful day on the Columbia with a great crew.

Worm Harnesses Get It Done It was another solid day on the Columbia out of Irrigon, Oregon for the FCO crew. We set out with one goal—track down some walleye—and the plan came together nicely. The day was all about trolling worm harnesses, and the program stayed steady from start to finish. The crew stayed focused, made the right adjustments, and the fish responded. Rods stayed busy, quality walleye hit the deck, and everyone went home with exactly what they were hoping for. Days like this are a good reminder that when conditions line up and the approach is right, the Columbia always delivers. Another great day on the water doing what we love

With the last day of sturgeon retention season upon us, we hit the water with a couple of boats in search of just one more keeper. After a hard day of fishing and bouncing from spot to spot trying to grind out a bite, Pro Guide Steve finally landed on a 52" keeper to cap off the retention season in style. Now that retention is officially closed, it’s time to make the drive out for some catch-and-release sturgeon fishing. These fish are truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the next few months are prime time. March, April, May, June, and July make for some incredible fishing for giant Columbia River sturgeon. If you’ve ever wanted to hook into a true river monster, this is your window.

Making the trip from Kennewick to Irrigon, Oregon proved to be well worth the drive for the crew. It was a day of trolling worm harnesses, and while the fish were short-biting, the guys adjusted quickly—giving them the feed and letting them load up before setting the hook. All in all, it was an absolutely great day on the water with a great group of guys. Good fishing, good energy, and a whole lot of fun.

FCO Pro Guide Steve hit the Columbia today, launching out of Umatilla to meet his Tri-Cities clients who made the short 25-minute drive over. It was a full day of walleye fishing for the crew—and walleye catching is exactly what they did. Steve started the morning pulling plugs and didn’t have to change the game plan much at all. The fish wanted to play, and the action stayed steady. The day produced plenty of quality eaters along with a few bigger fish that were released to help keep this fishery thriving. The smiles at the end of the trip said everything. Another great day on the Columbia with the FCO crew.

Had a great time with Ron from Tri-Cities  and David from Bend Oregon out chasing Columbia River walleye. We had to work a little harder for them today with a big push of water changing up the morning plans. It made things tougher and the fish weren’t sitting where they normally do, but the guys stayed with it. We were on the hunt for quality 16"–22" eater walleye, but the river kept giving us 25"–28" releasers instead. Don’t get me wrong—those bigger fish were a blast to catch, and the guys loved every minute of it—we just wanted to make sure we had a few for the tacos! All in all, a fun day with great company and plenty of action, even if the fish had their own idea of what size we were supposed to catch.

It was a solid night of walleye fishing for Pro Guide Steve as he hunted down a batch of eater walleye and released a few trophies with his crew. The water is finally clearing up, and the bite is starting to fire again. It’s trophy time here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters—prime season to rip some baits, chase the big girls, and put serious fish in the boat. The window is opening, and the fish are showing up. Let’s get after it.

Back to walleye for Pro Guide Tony. Tri-Cities clients Steve and Sharee joined him for a morning of walleye fishing on the Columbia out of Umatilla, and they had an excellent trip. The bite was steady, the rods stayed busy, and they put plenty of walleye in the boat—and later on the dinner table. They also released several beautiful fish back into the river to help keep this incredible fishery thriving. Great people, great fishing, and another solid day on the water for the FCO crew.

After a great day on the water yesterday, we hit the Columbia River again in search of a keeper sturgeon. We didn’t manage to land a keeper today, but we did get Omar on a beautiful 76-inch sturgeon—his first one ever. Omar had never caught a sturgeon before, even after trying several times, so watching him finally connect with a true river giant made the whole trip worth it. Even though we didn’t get the keeper we were chasing, Omar walked away with the fish of a lifetime. Another awesome day on the Columbia with memories that won’t be forgotten.
