What a month it has been for the crew here at Fisher's Catch Outfitters! The last week of October turned out to be another busy one as we wrapped up our final stretch of Coho salmon fishing downriver in the Columbia River Gorge and started shifting gears toward one of our favorite times of the year fall and winter walleye fishing! With our Colorado elk hunting adventures coming to an end, the crew is making their way back home and getting ready to hit the Columbia River in full force. The boats are getting dialed in, the gear is being prepped, and our guides are ready to start putting clients on some incredible fall and winter walleye. This is the time of year we really start getting excited about walleye fishing! As the seasons change and water temperatures begin to drop, our focus turns to finding those schools of quality eater-sized fish while also putting [...]

FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO TO THE COLUMBIA RIVER, THE FCO CREW HAS BEEN GETTING IT DONE! 10/11-10/24/2026

What an incredible couple of weeks it's been for the crew here at Fisher's Catch Outfitters! Whether we're deep in the mountains chasing big game or out on the Columbia River putting clients on fish, one thing is for sure: our guides have been staying busy and making memories with some great people! Pro Guides Tony and Steve headed to the beautiful mountains of Colorado, chasing elk and helping clients experience the excitement of hunting in some incredible country. There's nothing quite like being in the elk woods, hearing bulls’ bugle, and putting in the work to make a hunt come together. Long days, early mornings, and the thrill of the chase are what make these adventures so special. Meanwhile, back home in the Pacific Northwest, the rest of the FCO crew kept the boats busy and the rods bent! Downriver in the Columbia River Gorge, our guide Blake has been chasing Coho salmon, giving [...]

OCTOBER IS OFF TO A BANG AT FISHER’S CATCH OUTFITTERS! 10/01-10/11/2026

What an incredible month of fishing we had in September, and October is already picking up right where we left off! The fishing across the Columbia River system has been outstanding, and our guides are spread out putting clients on some incredible fish. Captain Blake has been downriver in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, chasing Coho salmon and getting clients into some exciting fall salmon action. There’s nothing quite like the fight of a fresh Coho, and this is one of our favorite times of year to target these hard-fighting fish. Meanwhile, Captains Tony, Miles, and Mike have been holding things down upriver around the Hanford Reach and Wallula Gap, targeting Chinook salmon, walleye, and sturgeon. From the powerful runs of fall Chinook to the steady action of walleye and the arm-burning battles with giant Columbia River sturgeon, there’s no shortage of excitement on the water. One of the best things about fishing with Fisher's [...]

Closed Out September FCO Style 9/21-9/30/2026

What a way to close out September here at Fisher's Catch Outfitters! The FCO Pro Guides spent the final week of the month covering the Columbia River from the Hanford Reach all the way down to the Columbia River Gorge, chasing salmon and walleye and putting our clients on some outstanding fishing. The crews were spread out across the river system, working hard to stay on the fish, and their efforts paid off in a big way. Every group went home with limits of fish, plenty of smiles, and some great memories made on the water. From salmon fishing in the Reach and Gorge to chasing down those delicious Columbia River walleye, the action kept our guides and clients busy. It's always rewarding to see everything come together, especially when we have boats fishing different stretches of the river and everyone is finding success. September was another great month for Team FCO, and we couldn't [...]

Week Three of September was another great week 09/14-09/21/2026

Another great week is in the books here at Fisher’s Catch Outfitters, and once again, the FCO crews stayed busy putting folks on fish throughout the Columbia River system. From chasing salmon in the Columbia River Gorge to targeting walleye and giant sturgeon out of the Tri-Cities, our boats were spread out and getting it done. It’s one of the things that makes this time of year so much fun. No matter what kind of fishing adventure you’re looking for, we’ve got an opportunity for you. The salmon crews put plenty of fish in the box, while our walleye boats continued finding quality fish and keeping rods bent. The sturgeon fishing was another highlight of the week, with plenty of these Columbia River monsters coming to the boats. And when we say monsters, we mean it. One of the biggest fish of the week stretched an incredible 113 inches! Fish like that are exactly why [...]

Second Week Of September Fish Slaying 09/08-09/14/2026

The second week of September brought another great stretch of fishing for the Fisher’s Catch Outfitters crew. With boats spread across the Columbia River system, our clients had the opportunity to chase walleye, salmon, and sturgeon, making this one of the best times of year to experience everything our area has to offer. The walleye fishing continues to produce, and our guides have been working hard to keep clients on fish. September can be a great time to target quality Columbia River walleye, and we’ve had plenty of bent rods, fish hitting the deck, and happy clients. Whether you’re looking to fill the cooler or hoping to connect with a bigger fish, there’s still some great walleye fishing to be had. Salmon season is also in full swing, and there’s nothing quite like watching a rod bury over when a Columbia River salmon decides to take off. Our crews have been putting in time, covering [...]

Fall Fishing Is Here Salmon, Walleye & Sturgeon with FCO. 09-01/09-07-2026

The first week of September continued to be a salmon fest here at Fishers Catch Outfitters, with the FCO crew spending plenty of time downriver in the Columbia River Gorge. The salmon continue to make their way into the river, and our guides have been busy putting clients on fish and enjoying some great early September action. While part of the crew stayed on Columbia chasing salmon, Tony and Miles headed over to Ilwaco, Washington, for their annual tuna trip. This year's tuna fishing didn't produce quite like some of our trips in years past, but that's fishing! Sometimes it's not about how many fish hit the deck it's about the adventure, the people you're with, and the memories made along the way. That's what keeps us coming back year after year. Back on the Columbia, we're just getting started with our fall salmon season. With more salmon continuing to enter the river, the FCO [...]

Wrapping Up August with a Bang 08/22-08/31/2026

Fishers Catch Outfitters wrapped up August with another busy week on the Columbia River. The FCO crew had boats spread out across multiple fisheries, from Buoy 10 at the mouth of the Columbia to the Columbia River Gorge, where we are officially kicking off another exciting stretch of our season. Salmon has been the focus of several of our boats, and the late summer action has provided some great days on the water. Our guides have been putting in time, staying on the fish, and sending clients home with fresh salmon and plenty of great memories. While some of the crews have been focused on salmon, our walleye program continues to produce. We're running both daytime eater trips and nighttime walleye trips, giving anglers a couple of completely different ways to experience Columbia. During the day, we're focused on putting quality eater-size fish in the boat, while after dark we shift gears and see what [...]

FCO Has the Columbia Covered 08/14-08/21/2026

It was another great week here at Fishers Catch Outfitters, with FCO boats spread out across the Columbia River from Astoria, Oregon, all the way to the Tri-Cities, Washington with plenty of action in between at Drano Lake. We are officially in full swing chasing salmon and walleye this month, and thankfully, the fish have been cooperating! Our guides have been busy putting clients on fish, making for big smiles, bent rods, and freezers filling up with some of the best the Columbia River has to offer. From the salmon action down at Astoria and Drano Lake to the walleye bite closer to home, the FCO team is covering some serious water and making memories with some great people along the way. There’s nothing better than seeing our customers head home after a successful day on the water with stories to tell, pictures to share, and fresh fish for the freezer. The season is rolling, [...]
