It's one of those underrated November fisheries that lights up a handful of Washington and Oregon rivers

Fresh caught Coho fillets paired with roasted spaghetti squash.

For a split second, my brain short-circuited on the sheer noise of it. Then reality hit: five feet of airborne rainbow came exploding from the water in a silver pink blur of spots and fury

October Coho on the Columbia River What a ride 2025 has been for fishing enthusiasts like us here in the Pacific Northwest. From Spring Chinook runs to summer's smallmouth bonanza, throw in some rockfish, pink salmon and walleye to the mix the an it has been a spectacular year. And now, as the leaves turn and the air crisps up, Mother Nature's serving one last banger: a bumper crop of big, beautiful Coho tearing through the Columbia. Late October, and these fish are still p

What followed was pure river rodeo in that small silty river.

I hooked a Humpy, and as it charged toward the boat with my jig in its mouth, I could see a squad of 20 other Pinks chasing it!

The crust was thin and crispy, and the toppings were perfectly heated up. Pizza on the Blackstone Griddle was by far my favorite pizza we have made so far and we will definitely do this again!

Out on the rugged coasts of Oregon and Washington, rockfish are a prize catch for any angler. Their firm, flaky white meat is a blank canvas for bold flavors, and nothing beats turning a fresh haul into a plate of rockfish tacos

Once my fly was in the zone, I started slowly stripping my in line, and a fish hit it right away. I set the hook, but nothing was there. I let a bit more line out thinking the fish may still be following, and started slowly stripping in line again. This time the fish smacked it harder and I hooked into my first rockfish on a fly

it’s a tradition that runs deep, connecting families, friends, and communities to the outdoors.

Razor clam digging is a fantastic way for families, friends, or solo adventurers to enjoy a day at the beach

First cast? Bam! A 20-inch, 5-pound-plus smallmouth slammed it, bending my rod with a fierce fight.

Walleye and eggs is amazing too, but never overlook some good old perch and bluegill for an awesome morning meal!
