Today in Multnomah Channel, high tide arrives at 7:27 AM (2.0 ft) and again at 7:23 PM (3.1 ft), and low tide bottoms out at 2:46 AM (0.3 ft) and again at 1:58 PM (1.3 ft). That's a 2.8-foot swing — a gentle neap-cycle swing, so focus on dawn and dusk rather than mid-tide current.
The sun rises at 7:08 AM and sets at 4:41 PM, under a waxing crescent (15% illuminated). Tidal range is in the middle of its two-week cycle.
Tomorrow starts with a low tide at 3:35 AM (0.3 ft) — see the 7-day outlook below to plan the week.

Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current ODFW regulations before keeping any fish.

King Salmon
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
Season: June – September (check regs)
Baits: Trolled anchovies, Spoons, Hoochies
Troll bait near bait schools and temperature breaks. Early season fishes deep; late season pushes near river mouths.
White Sturgeon
Acipenser transmontanus
Season: Year-round fish; open seasons and retention rules change often
Baits: Smelt, Sand shrimp, Squid
A bottom fish of the big rivers and estuaries. Heavy weight, a sliding sinker rig and fresh bait on the edge of a deep channel. In the tidal lower river, the bite often follows the tide change, when current picks up and carries scent. Retention rules for sturgeon are strict and change often; check current regs, and expect much of the fishing to be catch and release.
Saltwater essentials that belong in any bag, wherever you fish.
