Today's Tide Times in St. Helens

What's Biting at Saint Helens
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.
