2012 Salmon Quest
Get your Quest on! You won't want to miss Portland's most cherished fishing tournament on April 21, 2012
Sponsored by:
The Quest will be held on the rivers in and around the Portland area. This is a great opportunity for the sport fishing community to give back to the resource. The day of guided fishing will be followed by a reception at the East Portland Community Center, 740 SE 106th Ave. in Portland. The reception includes the awards ceremony for the tournament, catered bbq meal, prizes and drinks.
Fishing will be in teams of two anglers and one guide with the top three teams winning Salmon Quest trophies. Four anglers may fish in the same boat as two teams with the guide being the third member of each team. The guides will furnish the boat, fishing gear and bait. Anglers may bring their own guide or select from our list of guides and boatmen.
Registration is $250 per angler and includes a day of fishing with an experienced guide or boatmen, dinner, awards, and benefit auction. The Salmon Quest provides funding for fish projects in the greater Portland area.
