July 13, Walleye
With the Hot weather of July the fishing has been hit and miss on the Columbia for the Fishers Catch outfitters team and many other guides I have have been talking with. The flows are soft coming out of the dams and the fish can be hard to find at times. We managed to stumble on a couple nice areas that were holding some fish and put 35 walleye to the boat. We had 3 anglers on the boat and ended the day with 21 in the box. We release the big and smalls of the day. The guys took home a nice zip-lock of 7 walleye each and enjoyed a couple nice meals.
July 11, Evening Sturgeon run
The Fishers Catch Outfitters crew got to get out on the Columbia River in the evening after work to try and get buddy Kevin on his first ever Keeper Sturgeon. It was a productive evening with Kevin landing a nice 48" keeper and then the "Legend" landing a 53" keeper that we then turned back to live another day. All in all a great night of fishing and hanging out the good friends Ron and Kevin.

The Fishers Catch Outfitters crew go the spend the day on the water with family and Austin. It was a day of fun fishing Shad and Sturgeon for the first time for Austin and Niko. Niko showed up with a number of 21 Shad that he wanted to catch, so we did! We managed to get him his 21 shad in the couple hours he had time to fish. Once we got the Shad fishing done the Les Schwab bost set out for some catch and release Columbia river sturgeon fishing. It did not disappoint. We had our first sturgeon on within 5 minutes of dropping anchor and setting rods. All in all a fun day on the Columbia!! Time to get out and do some fishing!!! Tight Lines and Bent Rods!
June 2nd Shad
What an awesome day this one was with these 2 young men Easton and Hudson. We started the day trying to find them a sturgeon, but with the winds blowing up the mighty Columbia River it made the bight tough and the anchoring tougher. The Fishers Catch Outfitters crew had a great time watching these guys reel in 105 shad and absolutely get worn out. The Shad run is outstanding right now and if you are looking to introduce some young people to fishing this would be a great time for them.
