Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing In Oregon (Bank Fishing)

- Oregon Spring Chinook Salmon Fishing. I plan on spinner fishing for salmon with Angling Addict Fishing Co Spinners which found me a nice native Chinook a couple days earlier. Sandy River Spring Chinook fishing can be a tough one considering we are usually heading into a very wet season which can cause some rough fishing conditions and higher water flows. Fishing with spinners is my favorite method for catching these amazing fish, though a bobber setup with some eggs can be a killer at times.
If you haven't seen the video, check out the link here: • Spring Chinook Salmon ...
I met up with another local angler who was also casting spinners and we both ended with some nice Spring Chinook. Though his was a native and had to be released, it was his first Spring Chinook, and a nice one at that! Nothing beats that first experience with a Chinook on the end of your line.
I should be coming out with another video on how to catch spring chinook along with some Spring Chinook fishing tips.
I already have my sights set on the Fall Chinook and Coho fishing season that is quickly approaching. Considering i use the AAFCO spinners a LOT, i want to do a tutorial on how to catch salmon with spinners. There are a lot of different techniques that can be used in different areas that will help increase your chances over that basic cast and retrieve method.
Stay tuned for my videos, tutorials and just some good ol fishing fun!

I love hearing that reel scream!
Dream fish... Congratulations!
Awesome video bud!! Keeps me motivated to still get after these springers!! 👊😀🎣🎣🎣🎣
Michael Elkins - can’t catch em if you aren’t trying :) well, even then. You never know which cast will be the one. The motivation can be hard to keep if you always come up empty handed. Tight lines bud
@@AnglingAddictsPNW for sure this is true i appeciate the content bud keep up the good work!!👊😀
Hell yeah buddy good to see you back out on the water
Rich Kuhnhausen it’s my favorite place to be! :) especially when I can find some fish 🎣

Gorgeous fish. Glad to see you finally land one! Hoping to get back out there soon and start using those spinners I got from you. Tight lines!
Julian Xiong - I’m telling ya man there is something about those spinners. Should be a good week as our rivers start to drop. Tight lines, thanks for snatching up some more spinners
Glad your doing some videos thanks
michael kline - thanks for watching bro. I always feel lucky if I can get out and find salmon or steelhead

I’m jealous, we can’t catch river salmon until the fall here :( salmon are so fun
Finally catching up on your videos buddy, glad to see you boys getting out here and enjoying yourselfs.
North_West_Outdoor_Adventures - I felt pretty lucky to get on some fish with little time I’ve been able to get out fishing. Sounds like it’s slowed down quite a bit. I was just hoping to catch a spring chinook this season. If I’m on the water, I’m enjoying myself :) 🎣
@@AnglingAddictsPNW me and you both brother !!!
Hell yeah im the first view and first comment and first Like jaja where you fishing sandy!!??
Nice catch!!!
Justin - Thanks! I was pretty stoked to get a keeper on
Hey bud ,I’m still looking forward to trying the rivers around Portland, but not sure what ones to target salmon or what spots specifically lol
Awesome video keep up the good work!
Andrea Mace - thank you! I will do my best. Thanks for watching
You should to release those fishes dude
Awesome, nice catch man.
Paul Schmidt - thank you!
really nice keeper, happy for you. I need to get out there !!!
PK75 - Thank You, I always love that moment of realizing you have a fish on. I hate fishing in the rain but.... this is Oregon
People in my area floss them I wanna catch them off spinners I’ve tried a lot of spinners but no bites while people bring in huge ones
Bonkin em🤙
Hello. I watched a lot if not all your video but I have no idea where those locations are. I know people don't give out their locations but would mind share a few location (privately)?
How do you make it looks so easy
He does lol!
Awesome bro did you pug it on a scale when you got home? What was the official weight ?
Robert McGaughey - lol the funny thing is, I remembered I wanted to weigh it as I was holding up the carcass I had just filleted. I should just leave a scale in my car 🤷♂️
That happened to me a few years back when I caught my PB rainbow trout Lol I was so amazed and happy i totally forgot to weigh it. All good though. 🤙 Tight lines
Hey I’m kinda a newbie to salmon fishing, I noticed you really get those spinners out into the water. Any advice for for throwing spinners farther? And is there and way to add weight to Blue Foxes?
Just Vibin - I think the braided line helps, but my spinners are heavier than a bluefox. I used to fish with those spinners all the time before I started making my own. I know people have used an inline weight or have pinched on a couple split shot but I think that just makes it easier to snag. I usually say if you aren’t casting as far as you want, get heavier spinners. Try the weights or checkout the website.
Angling Addicts PNW I make my own spinners too and I always keep a few made out of bullet weights, instead of the bell bodies, for times I need to get deep or just trying to hit the other bank.
I heard the don’t bite how do you get them to bite spinners
What months do you think are the hottest for spring chinook?
Beauty! You cook her up already? Do you do any fish smoking?
Fish and Forage - Thank You, I was hoping to get it on the smoker as soon as I got home but I was slammed all day long. I ended up just getting some prepped in some vacuum seal bags. I think I’m going to get some done up this weekend!
@@AnglingAddictsPNW should make a video of it! Always looking for new ways to cook or smoke fish!
Fish and Forage Might sound weird but I love pickled salmon. I just HAVE to make at least a few jars when I get a fish.
@@TheWallman456 I mean.. I like salmon and I like pickled stuff. I can imagine it'd be pretty good! Any recipes you recommend?
Fish and Forage not specifically. I just googled some to get an idea as far as proportions of ingredients but basically some vinegar, white or apple cider. I do both haha
Pickling spices and sugar etc. I like to tinker with it. I don’t think any two batches have turned out the same but always DELICIOUS!
Family loves it.
Neighbors love it.haha
What are the conditions you look for that make you decide to fish a spot? Been trying for a couple of years and I still haven't managed to hook into any of the salmonids and I think I may just be going to the wrong spots/at the wrong conditions.
Meltingfrog - There are so many times I’m fishing an area and KNOW there has to be fish there but come up empty handed. Sometimes you just can’t get fish to strike. That’s why mixing it up is huge. You could throw the same thing all day with no luck or cycle through different colors and styles. A simple color change or change in presentation could make the difference. When it comes to what I look for it’s usually any deeper pools, channels, or bottlenecks, anything that’s going to provide what the fish prefer. The weather and river conditions play a big role. I’m usually looking for spikes in the river level so I can fish when it’s dropping again. If the water is low and clear the fish may be less likely to bite. Seems my last couple fish came when it was raining. I’m still trying to figure it all out.
Angling Addicts PNW Aren’t we all?! Haha
I used to go to a spot with 3 rods and a bulging backpack and just get STUCK. Knowing that I should move around but AWW, AAWWW it’s just too perfect! They HAVE to be here. And I would just be there for 10 hours throwing everything and the kitchen sink at em.
So I finally ditched the backpack and got a vest and boom, all the difference in the world. I actually started catching fish! Whaddya know 😆
But like you said.... it depends.
I think about it like this: if the river is on the rise they’re traveling. Find a travel lane and post up.
As it drops, the fish find their spot to wait for rain again. This is when I pick like 2 techniques, start high on the river and hit the holes on the way down.
I swear this one adjustment has been an absolute game changer.
SCORE ... 😁. #ChuckFasst
Any chance this weekend will be good down there? Thinking of going down there from Eastern Oregon since our local river is closed as of now
Adventure Angling PNW - it looks like we should be having thunderstorms this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. It really depends on how much rain we get, how high and fast the rivers raise and how bad the thunderstorms are. Otherwise I’d say there is still a chance of finding a fish, though it is starting to get a little late in the season, may have to put in more work to find some
Angling Addicts PNW The Sandy won’t blow out like the Clack because the snow keeps the dirt out. Not like Clackamas is puttin out any fish or anything, just my 2 pennies
@@TheWallman456 so I should expect to see fish in the Sandy?
Adventure Angling PNW I always do. lol
My bet would be fishing lower until the next freshet. Everything from Oxbow to Cedar has been worked over pretty thoroughly this past week. But I’m still a rookie so .... big ol grain o’ salt comin right uphaha
TheWallman456 - I’m not talking about it blowing out. It doesn’t need to blow out, it only has to get dirty enough to be unfishable. It didn’t raise much last week and it was brown for two days. It’s spring now, the water can dirty up fast. If it’s raining low, it’s raining high. Snow melts, sediment enters the river. Spring and summer are more about how saturated the ground is when the rain does fall. We were also originally supposed to have thunderstorms this weekend which doesn’t make for the best fishing. I live 15 minutes away from the river and I’m not fishing it this weekend. He’s coming from eastern Oregon.
How long of a bumper do you run from your mainline to your spinner?
Yagimo - usually about 3ft. A bit shorter if the water is dirty.
Where is this???
What reel are you using here?
Where are some good spots to go for those?
What river is this
Nick, what river was this and where?
MikePierce170 - I can’t make it that easy ;) I’d have nowhere to fish if I showed all my spots. Now I’m back to just jumping around trying to find some fish again. Good areas come and go, but...... this was on the Sandy river, I will give ya that. This recent rain raised the river a lot a few days ago which could get the fish to just blast up to the hatchery. The river is dropping now and it’s going to be a nice week. Fish the deeper pools and channels with slower moving water.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW lol oh I figured as much. It was worth a shot though right 😄? I kinda thought it was the Sandy. I live right in Troutdale but mainly fish the Clackamas. I've found quite a few hot spots on that river but for whatever reason never worked the Sandy much. And you're right about the water level. Even the Clack is up quite a bit.
My primary passion is spearfishing. I do that mostly im the ocean but occasionally enjoy targeting carp in the Columbia. Over the last 2yrs though I've really enjoyed filming salmon with my gopro while diving the rivers (never in the Sandy though). I'm getting a Hero 8 Black soon to hopefully catch some Springers on film. That was really why I was looking for locations on deeper pools. Swift currents are not ideal for freediving.
MikePierce170 The Sandy is my go to. Home river or whatever. And I have two inflatable pontoon boats if you ever want to float and fish . Or just go fishing.
Or I could just tell you where some spots are.....
@@TheWallman456 find me on Facebook so we can chat. MikePierce170 is my handle there as well. I also have some GoPro film I shot earlier in the week you might like.
Where did you fish?
Loucas Sartaine - I fish everywhere. I’m always jumping around trying to find the best areas based on the conditions and time of season
God day all way around
Seth Niswender - anytime I get to feel that tug, it’s a good day. I was happy to see my buddy catch his first chinook
Yeah gonna have to be kinda d down and see if I can hook one
Seth Niswender - good luck man, I’m sure this rain got some fish moving
Mind telling me where this is at? Im from washington so i wont be stealing your spot dont worry
Lol that made no sense of course you were gonna steal the spot 😂
@@trashfishtvoregon7290 im gonna go there once. And probably never go again so if anything its borrowing. I mean you mentioned the river name in the last video now i just need the spot lmao
@@ericklagos2752 lol hahaha borrowing 🤣🤣🤣 I like that lol yeah I wish I know where his spots were too, I know roughly where he's at but there's a lot of water that he covers in the videos it's hard to pinpoint exactly where he's at!
