Pink Salmon Fishing in Astoria
Astoria, Oregon, nestled at the mouth of the Columbia River, provides a unique vantage point for targeting pink salmon. While not as renowned as other salmon runs in the area, the pinks offer a fun and accessible fishery, especially for those looking for a change of pace. The peak season is typically August and September during even-numbered years. Focus your efforts in the lower Columbia River near Astoria, especially around Tongue Point and the shipping channels. Trolling with spinners or casting brightly colored lures are effective techniques. A local's secret is to watch for areas where the Columbia's freshwater mixes with the saltwater of the Pacific; these areas often concentrate the fish. Be aware of the heavy boat traffic and strong currents in the Columbia River. Pink salmon in this area can be smaller than other salmon species, but they are still feisty and plentiful.
