The Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest. Its 1243 miles stretches from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, flows northwest and south into Washington State, then serves as the border between Oregon and Washington before dumping into the Pacific Ocean. The Columbia River is home to many dramatic landmarks, such as the Columbia River Gorge, between The Dalles and Portland, Oregon, and the Columbia Bar, a shifting sandbar at the river’s exit into the Pacific Ocean near Astoria, Oregon. The mouth of the Columbia River is known to many as the ‘Graveyard of Ships’ due to its danger and history of shipwrecks. It is known as one of the most hazardous stretches of water in the world.
The Columbia River is home to 14 hydro-electric dams, shipping channels, and serves as irrigation for seven states. Fishing on the Columbia River is a part of history, with indigenous people dating back over 11,000 years ago, with a large population starting 3,500 years ago. The salmon that are so famous to the Columbia River were a huge part of the tribes from long ago, especially the Chinook that live at the edge of the Columbia River and spawned the name Chinook salmon for the sought-after salmon available in Spring and Fall. Salmon are still a huge part of Columbia River fishing, although population concerns created fishing limits to keep this part of the river strong. Other fish are a big part of Columbia River fishing, and you can find sturgeons, the dinosaurs of the river, sockeye salmon, shad and steelhead are all very popular.
