In Eastern Oregon we sure have a lot of good days of catching fish.We have fished for every species that swims in Eastern Oregon, with combined experience of over 60 years, we can put you on fish, using any legal method you desire. Here we fish for trout, steelhead, salmon, bass, crappie, carp, shad, squawfish, and we have sturgeon over 10' long in our home waters. Would you like to make arrangements to fish for a 10 foot sturgeon? Contact Blue Mountain Anglers Guide Service, LLC, and we will get you into some trophy fishing, and /or high catch rate of C&R fishing.

BMA's 2004 North River Commander. Want to go fishing in style?

Most people are quite amazed when we tell them that a usual day's fishing for trout yields 150 to 200 hookups, and steelhead fishing have given us as many as 15 to 18 per day in N. E. Oregon. Blue Mountain Anglers can make no promises, but we do see a lot of smiles on our friends faces when they go fishing with us.

Trout fishing in most of N.E. Oregon opens on May 27, 2006 and earlier on some rivers and lakes, and is closed on November 1. Most lake - stillwater trout fishing is opened year around, but closes on a number of lakes due to ice in November, and begins again with turnover in the spring. The snow runoff usually comes off by late June and at that time almost all waters are accessible for fishing. Steelhead fishing runs usually begins to get good in early August on the Deschutes River and progresses up the Columbia River Basin to reach the upper rivers in the Blue Mountains in late winter and early spring. Our Umatilla River steelhead season opens on September 1 with a mix of 2/3 hatchery; 1/3 wild by ODFW survey. By most rods we survey the opposite seems to be true. Most of our steelhead run between 24-29". Typically an angler can expect to get 1 or 2 steelie hookups per day throughout most of the upper Umatilla, but there are days and stretches of the river when some anglers hookup to 6-8-10-12. As you know steelhead...here today, gone tomorrow ...depending on the pod's travel, water flow and temperature.

Our Umatilla River steelhead season is open from September 1 until April 15. The best time to be on the Umatilla River for steelhead is from mid-February through March. We start fishing the Wallowa River very successfully from mid-March through mid-April.

Our spring Chinook "Springers" are coming on strong. Looking for a big JERK on you rod... showup in N.E. Oregon if you want the kick of your salmon bank fishing career.

The Rufus Crew with their limit of Umatilla Spring Chinook!!

Our Umatilla River spring chinook season opens on April 16 through June, and allows for steelhead, and salmon fishing with the steelhead being strickly C&R only. Traditionally 1/3 of our steelhead run come into the river after April 15 (about 1000 steelhead after 4/15) and the springers run is going strong the last week of April first and second week in May. Our Umatilla springers are all hatchery salmon, in the 8 to 20+ pound class range that move very fast up the Umatilla system during spring runoff.

Our methods for fishing steelhead in Northeast Oregon are: dry flies September through October, wet fly swing when water is above 40 degrees F. and dead drift method when water is below 40 degrees F. Flies of choice after November 1 through April are black and purple or a combo thereof. Egg sucking leeches work well.
