Fishers Catch Outfitters Fishing Report

November 25th Sturgeon

It was a day of sturgeon fishing this cold foggy day of November. Fishers Catch Outfitters set out for a day of fun sturgeon fishing on the Columbia river. It was a day of firsts for Anthony and Jackie. We managed to get them on 15 nice fighting fish with 3 nice over-sized and 3 in the keeper slot (retention season opens January 1st) Should be a good one. With this being the first day Jackie has ever fished in her life she did awesome and fished like a pro. Setting the hook on some nice fish and fighting them all the way to the Les Schwab sled. It was an awesome day on the water.

Hell Bent in Hell’s Canyon

Had a great weekend with my great friends with Hell Bent River Charters chasing some Snake River Steelhead. With the weather shaping up nice cold mornings and crisp afternoons we managed to put some great fish to the boat. A total of nine fish were landed with 4 of them being keepers.  Not all the fish we hooked into managed to make it to the net for the release. Some of them managed to get away from us before we could get them in the net. All in all we had another awesome time and are looking forward to the next trip. If you are looking for a great Hell's Canyon Steelhead, Sturgeon or Bass trip give us a call and we will get you all set up!

It was another day of tough fishing for the Fishers Catch Outfitters and CED crew on the Columbia River today trying to land fall Chinook Salmon. We managed to put two fish in the boat with a couple other misses. It was a day of long fishing from in town to the top of Ringold. The weather was nice and the people we got to fish with were great. We are looking forward to some more great fishing!!!  

October 5 CED

Got to start the day with the first of 6 CED groups set for this seasons fall Salmon run on the Columbia River. With the fishing slowing down in town and not getting any in the net we headed to Ringold to finish up the day and see some sights. We managed to put a couple fish in the boat for the group. All in all a fun day and fun time! We were hoping for limits and it was not because we didn't put in the hours! We wont tell Lance that he lost a nice fish!!! SHHH.......

October 4th limits

With the fishing good on the Columbia River here in town, the Fishers Catch Outfitters sled did not have to go far to find a limit of fish with a bonus jack. With returning walleye clients we set out from Richland in search of the Fall Chinook Salmon and needless to say we found a couple great fish.
