    • Winter Bites on the Columbia: Sturgeon, Steelhead, and More

      Winter Bites on the Columbia: Sturgeon, Steelhead, and More
      Jan 25 2026
      Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things fishin' on the mighty Columbia River around Portland. It's Sunday mornin', January 25th, and we're lookin' at a classic winter setup out here.

      Tide-forecast.com has the scoop for Vancouver on the Columbia: low tide at 4:56 AM hittin' 0.6 feet, high at 10:34 AM pushin' 3.09 feet, then low again at 6:34 PM at 1.22 feet, and evenin' high at 10:57 PM at 2.08 feet. Fish the incomin' tide mid-mornin' when the current picks up—that's when the bite turns on. Sunrise at 7:39 AM, sunset 5:07 PM, givin' ya about 9.5 hours of light.

      Weather's comin' from National Weather Service: south winds around 15 knots near the bar, seas 12-13 feet with a chance of rain. Bundle up, stay safe if you're headin' seaward, but inside the river it's calmer—expect cloudy skies, temps in the low 40s.

      Fish activity's solid this time of year. Locals report steady catches of sturgeon and steelhead in the deep holes; a few shad still hangin' but windin' down. Last week's ODFW creel checks showed limits of starry flounder and perch from the banks near Portland, plus some nice coho jacks for the trollers. Amounts ain't huge—maybe 5-10 fish per rod for dedicated anglers—but quality over quantity.

      Best lures? Spin-N-Glo yarn spinners in pink or chartreuse for steelhead, or heavy jigheads with curly tail grubs for perch. Bait-wise, fresh prawn or cut herring for sturgeon, worms or sand shrimp for bottom dwellers. Troll slow at 1.5 mph.

      Hot spots: Try the drop-off below Bonneville Dam for steelies, or bank fish Cathedral Park for perch and flounder where the Willamette meets the Columbia.

      Get out there safe, measure twice before keepin' any.

    • Columbia River Fishing Report: Winter Steelhead, Tides, and Lures for Portland Area

      Columbia River Fishing Report: Winter Steelhead, Tides, and Lures for Portland Area
      Jan 24 2026
      Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for all things Columbia River fishin' right here around Portland. It's a crisp winter mornin' on the water today, with overcast skies hangin' low and winds light outta the southwest at 5-10 knots—perfect for keepin' things steady without freezin' ya out. Sunrise hit around 7:40 AM, sunset's callin' it at 5:06 PM, givin' us a solid 9+ hours of daylight to chase bites.

      Tides are playin' nice per Tide-Forecast.com: low around 5:50 AM at 1 foot, high at 9:59 AM pushin' 9 feet, droppin' back to low 6:43 PM at nearly 2 feet, then evenin' high at 10:17 PM near 7 feet. Fish the outgoing after that mornin' high for best drifts—currents'll pull your offerings right into the feedin' zones.

      Action's been quiet on the mainstem lately, like The Guide's Forecast reported January 22—no big runs of salmon or sturgeon yet, but winter steelhead are tricklin' in slow from the Willamette and lower tribs. Meldrum Bar plunkers nabbed a handful of hatchery steelies last week amid droppin' flows, and early birds on the Lewis and Elochoman are pullin' nice ones too. Chinook whispers from yesterday's Columbia River Fishing Update on Spreaker, but nothin' steady—patience is key this shoulder season. Limits? Nah, it's singles and doubles if you're dialed in.

      For lures, go with yarn balls tipped with shrimp or cured eggs under a float—steelhead can't resist 'em in this clear water. Spin-n-Glo's in chartreuse or pink are killin' it drifted deep, and small spinners like Mepps for swingin' banks. Live bait? Sand shrimp or nightcrawlers on a single hook for bottom bouncin'.

      Hot spots: Hit Meldrum Bar on the Willamette for plunkin' steelies, or slide down to the lower Columbia near St. Helens for tide-rippin' drifts. Bundle up, check regs, and stay safe out there.

    • Columbia River Fishing Update: Winter Steelhead, Chinook, and More

      Columbia River Fishing Update: Winter Steelhead, Chinook, and More
      Jan 23 2026
      # Columbia River Fishing Report – January 23rd

      Hey everyone, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning fishing update for the lower Columbia.

      **Tides and Conditions**

      Right now at the North Jetty, we're sitting at a high tide of 7.71 feet that hit early this morning around 3:28 AM. Low tide came in at 9:20 AM at 2.1 feet. If you're heading out to Vancouver or Portland, expect a high at 9:05 AM hitting 2.67 feet with another low around 4:20 PM. Sun's up at 7:41 this morning and sets at 5:04 PM, so you've got a decent window to work with.

      **What's Biting**

      According to the latest fishing reports, the mainstem has been pretty quiet mid-river, but don't sleep on the Lower Columbia tributaries. Gnat Creek and Big Creek are still producing solid numbers of hatchery winter steelhead right now. The Klaskanine hatchery has recycled fish downstream, and they're actively being caught. These runs are peaking, so if you want hatchery steelhead, now's the time.

      Down in the estuary, fall Chinook catches are going very well. Those fish are moving upstream and should hit the Portland reach within days. According to recent reports, early springer Chinook were spotted on the Lewis River too—still early season, but it's happening.

      **Best Tactics and Lures**

      With low flows and clear water right now, go light on your line and use dark colors. For steelhead, small spoons and spinners are enticing territorial bites in these conditions. Drift fishing with roe or shrimp near the bottom works for Chinook in deeper channels, while plunking with heavy weights and bait is solid from shore in slower pools.

      **Hot Spots**

      Target the **Lower Columbia below I-5** for hatchery-marked Chinook and steelhead—that's your main open zone through March 31st. The **Big Creek and Gnat Creek systems** are your best bets for steelhead right now with fresh hatchery fish recycled downstream. Remember, wild salmon and steelhead must be released.
