Yes, we have conditions to deal with, and who knows where the cold water will be during the summer, but given the opportunity to get out, we should be able to enjoy some pretty incredible fishing. With decent forecasts of Summer Chinook and 1 million Coho, it should be game on from the get go. Just guessing, but it should be in that neighborhood. The ocean should open around the 25th of June. So expect our Summer Salmon fishing leading up to Buoy 10 to be incredible. Coho fishing and crabbing…what a great way to spend a fall day on the water. We’ll just keep targeting bright silvers clear through October in Astoria. And the action doesn’t slow down once the Coho get to the Columbia. For a lot of folks that have never seen what this looks like, you’ll get the opportunity this year and I seriously can’t wait. It’s been that long! 1 million returning Coho would mean our ocean season in July and early August is going to be fuego. Up until last year’s season, we had to go back to the early 2000’s in order to really compare this forecast to anything. This number feels uncomfortable, because it’s just so big. Will it end up there? We’ll see, but in over 20 years of following and letting people know about Buoy 10, I don’t think I’ve ever had bad info. What I’m hearing now is a forecast about 1 million Coho returning to the Columbia. Will there be a few days in the peak where the powers that be try to put the brakes on the catch rates? Yes, but five weeks of Chinook Salmon fishing in Astoria is a very real possibility at this point.
DAY ONE OUTDOORS FULL
500k should get us a full season, and what I mean by this is the season could open on August 1 and get us through Labor Day. If you were out on the water last fall, you know what I mean. Like, can’t get all your rods in the water as you’re rolling through the Red Roof, Church, and Tunnel. That’s a huge deal for sure as I’ve seen some pretty cataclysmic fishing at 400k. We’re looking at a Preliminary Forecast of about 500k Chinook for 2022. While numbers aren’t official, I’m hearing some really good things for this year’s possibilities. This is the time of year when Buoy 10 Salmon and ocean abundance numbers for Astoria begin to get tossed around.
