Fishing on the Cowlitz River is excellent all year long. Steelhead travel up the river May through August and November through February and run up to 20 Lbs. September through November we fish for King and Coho Salmon and March through April we go after Spring Salmon. Year after year the Cowlitz is the number one Steelhead River in the state. It is located 2 hours south of Seattle and 1 hour north of Portland with easy access from Interstate 5. It is a very scenic river with plenty of wildlife to watch as you catch acrobatic Steelhead or monster Salmon. Northland is Licensed, Insured, and Coast Guard approved. The boat is equipped with a heater and cover for those less than perfect days. We can accommodate up to 4 people per fishing trip. Go Sturgeon fishing, Salmon fishing, or Steelhead fishing or a combination trip of these hard fighting fish. Sturgeon fishing in the lower Columbia is excellent year round. From Bonneville to Longview we have some awesome days on the river. We will anchor over one of our holes when sturgeon fishing and bait our hooks with several different baits until the fish let us know what the hot bait for the day is. The most common baits are Smelt, Herring, and Shad. Salmon fishing on the Columbia is excellent several months of the year. We use several techniques when Salmon fishing including, trolling, and anchoring. We use several different baits and plugs depending on what the fish are doing. Steelhead fishing is also good several months of the year on the Columbia river. You can fish for Salmon, Sturgeon and Steelhead at the same time during certain times of the year which makes for a great time on the river. Prime time’s fill up fast, so call early to book your trip. on the smaller streams in the area. Watching huge Salmon and Steelhead make their way up a small stream to spawn is a thrill in itself.
The Sturgeon that make their way up the Columbia river can exceed 12’ in length and weigh close to 1000 lbs. Salmon have been caught over 60 lbs and Steelhead will tip the scales in the mid 20 lb range. So if you like to catch big fish or even different species of big fish in the same trip.
