This is the salmon and steelhead fishing gear I use on the Columbia and Willamette rivers around Portland, Oregon, the same tackle you see in my Fishing with Guy videos: trolling rods and reels, fluorocarbon leaders, flashers, Super Bait and Cut Plug baits, SpinFish, bait scents and cures, and rain gear. Each item links to where you can get it. If you are looking for what to run for Chinook, coho or steelhead, start here.
