Spring Chinook, Summer Chinook and Steelhead fishing on the Columbia River is done out of Dodson Oregon, close to Bonneville Dam and 35 miles east of Portland. This is in the west end of the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. The scenery as well as the fishing is spectacular. We also fish for Summer Steelhead and Fall Chinook out of Rainer Oregon.
