Buoy 10
fishing guide
Guided fall Chinook trips at the mouth of the Columbia River near Astoria and Hammond.
The West Coast’s biggest salmon party
Every August, fall Chinook and coho funnel through the mouth of the Columbia River, and the Buoy 10 fishery comes alive between Astoria, Hammond and the Washington side.
Coby fishes Buoy 10 and has filmed the fishery with Addicted Fishing in both 2025 and 2026. Many of the photos on this site were taken at the Hammond Marina trophy board after a day at the mouth.
