Fishing Near Troutdale?

Return to Message Board

I'll be visiting Portland in late April and was wondering about good fishing spots along the Columbia River Gorge near Troutdale. Thank you!

Most of the lakes around that area are decent trout fishing (benson, blue lake, harriet, henry hag) But the columbia and the sandy are killer fishing if u hit it in a salmon/stealhead run. The sturgeon are easy to come by also just use shad or squid for your bait they are always good fun, and one of the few places in the world u can even catch them. Theres also some bass in the col. they can be a bit harder to find.
Good Luck
