	Salt water opportunities are probably best at Warrenton/Hammond
	and Illwaco Wash. for salmon out of the mouth of the Columbia.  You
	might also consider a charter for sturgeon fishing as well whcih
	has been good in the estuary west of Astoria.

	Bottom fishing and salmon fishing are also available at Garabaldi
	near Tillamook.  These are all day trips and typically range around 
	$50.  Salmon fishing has been good in both locations for coho in the
	5 lb to 8 lb range with a few chinook in the catch.  Salmon fishing
	is only open Sunday thru Tuesday so check the charter operation before
	you plan your day.  Both of the above locations are within 90 minutes
	of Portland.  A little farther drive will get you to Depot Bay one of
	my favorite spots where you can get salmon charters, bottom fishing
	charters, combination trips and full or half day boats.

	If you pick one of these charters, allow yourself at least 2 hrs
	drive time from Portland to give yourself plenty of time and not miss
	the boat.

		Recommended charters:

		Depot Bay = Tradewinds charters, 503-765-2345
		Garibaldi = Trollers charters, 503-322-3666
		Ilwaco Wa.= Beacon charters, 206-642-2138
		Hammond = Tiki Salmon charters, 503-861-1201

		Another method would be to call Larry's travel service.  
		They specialize in setting up fishing trips both local
		and out of state/country.  1-800-545-5729  Let them know
		what you want, what times you have available and what your
		price range is and they will set it all up for you.  You may
		get a better price if you shop around yourself but if you
		are limited on time, this is the way to go.  

	If you're interested in fresh water, there is decent walleye fishing
	in the Columbia, and summer steelhead has been good in both the 
	Sandy and Clackamas rivers (both within 90 minutes of Portland)  You
	might consider a guide for this as well to get you to the best water
	quicker.  Catch and Release for all wild fish, limit is 2/day for 
	fin clipped (hatchery) fish.

	Send me email if you need any more info.

	Sorry for all the info but I thought it may be useful for others
	coming to Portland this summer.

	Terry
