Oregon Salmon Fishing Charters (Chinook & Coho)

When most people picture salmon fishing in Oregon, they imagine legendary battles with powerful Chinook and fast-running Coho along rivers that have been feeding generations. At Sovrn Sky Outfitters, we bring that vision to life. From the mighty Columbia to the scenic Willamette and the wild Rogue, our Oregon salmon fishing charters put you right in the heart of some of the most productive waters in the Pacific Northwest.

Many anglers come in expecting that salmon fishing is just about luck. But the truth? Successful Chinook salmon trips and Coho salmon charters rely on timing, technique, and an expert guide who knows where these fish hold, when they run, and how to entice the strike. That’s where Sovrn Sky Outfitters stands apart. We’ve built our reputation on turning big fish stories into real-life memories—whether it’s your first cast or your hundredth.

Fishing Oregon’s Legendary Waters

• Columbia River – Known worldwide as one of the best fisheries for Chinook salmon, this river offers incredible opportunities for trophy-sized fish during both spring and fall runs.
• Willamette River – Flowing through the heart of Oregon, the Willamette is perfect for Coho salmon charters, especially in the late summer and early fall.
• Rogue River & Oregon Coast – If you’re looking for rugged beauty and unforgettable fishing, the Rogue and Oregon’s coastal rivers deliver year after year with consistent action and breathtaking views.

Whether you’re chasing hard-fighting Chinook that can top 30 pounds or the acrobatic Coho, each trip is designed to maximize your time on the water and give you the full Oregon fishing experience.

More Than Fishing – Foraging Oregon’s Bounty

Sovrn Sky Outfitters offers more than just world-class salmon fishing. We also guide seasonal foraging trips for wild mushrooms and berries across Oregon’s lush forests.

These experiences pair perfectly with our fishing charters, giving guests a taste (literally) of everything Oregon’s outdoors has to offer.
