September is a perfect time for fishing on the Oregon Coast.

I love fishing for Coho in the fall, and November can be one of the best months to catch them in the rivers around the Pacific Northwest.

Astoria is one of the most popular salmon destinations in all of the Pacific Northwest.

Salmon fishing through the smoke in the Pacific NW

This week I made an early morning run up to Point Defiance to meet my good friend Gabe Miller to see if we could catch a Summer King.

Kokanee, the land locked cousin of Sockeye Salmon, and one of the best eating fish on the planet.

Pautzke has sourced the best scents to combine with their gel, giving your lure an amazingly realistic scent that can match the food source

As luck would have it, we got our limit of salmon pretty early, so we had plenty of time to go chase Smallmouth.

it sets up up a unique opportunity to catch King, Coho and Pink Salmon on the same day.

Northwesterners that are looking to get outside this spring can find a wild adventure that is uniquely Northwest right here in Portland.

I decided to poach mu portion on the BBQ and it turned out great!
