Oregon Coast Buoy 10 Fishing

Fishing buoy 10 on the Oregon Coast has become one of the favorite pastimes of the west coast angler and traveling fisherman alike.

Situated between Astoria, Oregon, and Ilwaco, Washington on the west coast of the United States, buoy 10 is at the mouth of the Columbia River. The Columbia River forms the border between Oregon and Washington. Buoy 10 is located just east of the Columbia River bar at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Ocean.

Oregon Coast Buoy 10 Fishing Seasons

It is common for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to open this fishery for Chinook Salmon August 1st & close it near Labor Day, but the closure is very dependant on the projected run, quota set & the actual total catch.

The best fishing does not usually start on the opener, but picks up within a week or two, depending on the weather. For Steelhead fishing, the season is usually hot through July and August. Crabbing is known to be best in September, October, and early November. Sturgeon fishing also heats up in the summer months around Astoria.
