Columbia River Fishing Guides Organization Columbia River Fishing Guides association is a group of private citizens and fishing guides living in the Columbia River area in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Our purpose and goal is to help fishing guides educate people around the world about the Columbia River and it's vast beauty and resources. Salmon fishing on the Columbia River by Columbia River fishing guides is good because local Sturgeon keeper Sturgeon oversize Sturgeon and Columbia River fishing guides catch more Sturgeon. If you know "how to catch Salmon" and "how to catch Salmon" you will fish the Columbia river with knowledgeable fishing guides and charter boats. Charters book fishing trips for half day trips and full day trips on the Columbia River. The Columbia River Fishing Guides Columbia River Fishing Guides: The Columbia River drains a 259,000-square-mile basin that includes territory in seven states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah) and one Canadian province. The river is arguably the most significant environmental force in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It flows for more than 1,200 miles, from the base of the Canadian Rockies in southeastern British Columbia to the Pacific Ocean at Astoria, Oregon, and Ilwaco, Washington. Although humans have lived along the river for more than 10,000 years, modern engineering in the 19th and 20th centuries has dramatically altered the Columbia. Astoria fishing is great with fishing guides who fish the lower Columbia River.

Description: The Columbia originates in two lakes that lie between the Continental Divide and Selkirk mountain ranges in British Columbia. The river's course is convoluted. It flows north for its first 200 or more miles, then it turns south and runs to the international border. Within the United States, the river courses southwest and skirts one of the Columbia Plateau's massive lava flows, then it turns to the southeast, cutting a dramatic gorge in the volcanic shield to its junction with the westward flowing Snake River. From its confluence with the Snake, the Columbia runs nearly due west to the Pacific Ocean. Fifteen percent of the basin -- 39,000 square miles -- lies in Canada and the largest of the river's major tributaries is the Snake River, itself more than 1,100 miles long. The Columbia River Basin includes a diverse ecology that ranges from temperate rain forests to semi-arid plateaus, with precipitation levels from 110 inches to 6 inches per year. Contact the Columbia River Fishing Guide Most important, perhaps, the Columbia is a snow-charged river that seasonally fluctuates in volume. Its annual average discharge is 160 million acre-feet of water, with the highest volumes between April and September, the lowest from December to February. From its source at 2,650 feet above sea level, the river drops an average of more than 2 feet per mile, but in some sections it falls nearly 5 feet per mile.

The Columbia has ten major tributaries: the Kootenay, Okanagan, Wenatchee, Spokane, Yakima, Snake, Deschutes, Willamette, Cowlitz, and Lewis rivers. Its most important tributary, the Snake, flows across a semi-arid plain and runs through the deepest gorge in North America, Hell's Canyon -- 7,900 feet deep. The Deschutes and Willamette rivers drain basins south of the Columbia, while the Yakima, Lewis, and Cowlitz rivers drain areas on the north side of the river.

Scenic Areas on the Columbia River:

Multnomah Falls:

• Found along the Columbia River Gorge, it is 620 feet in height. It is the second highest waterfall in the United States. This waterfall comes from the snow capped Larch mountain and natural springs. Benson Bridge allows visitors to cross the falls upper and lower cataracts. This bridge was erected in 1914 by Simon Benson.

Five Most Scenic Sights:

• The five most spectacular scenic sights along the river are; Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Indian Heaven, Trapper Creek or Columbia. These are places where you can view wildflowers, and beautiful waters.

The Columbia River Gorge: The Columbia River Gorge is a spectacular river canyon cutting the only sea-level route through the Cascade Mountain Range. It's 80 miles long and up to 4,000 feet deep with the north canyon walls in Washington State and the south canyon walls in Oregon State.


Recreation: Hiking, mountain biking, windsurfing, camping, fishing, boating, wildlife watching, birding, wildflower viewing, photography, picnicking, rock climbing. You can do all this and more in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

Waterfalls: Through millenniums of geologic events, waterfalls have found their home in the Columbia River Gorge. A visit to the area is not complete without a visit to its breathtaking waterfalls.
Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the United States. Though Multnomah Falls is grand and popular, all of the falls in the Gorge are special and breathtaking.

History: For over 31,000 years, the Columbia River Gorge has supported flourishing civilizations. Evidence of the Folsom and Marmes people, who crossed the Great Continental Divide from Asia, were found in archaeological digs. Excavations at Five Mile Rapids, a few miles east of The Dalles, show humans have occupied this ideal salmon fishing site for more than 10,000 years.

Geology: The Columbia River Plateau was created by a series of basalt flows. The flows covered 164,000 square kilometers -- portions of northeast Oregon, southwest Washington and western Idaho.
