You can get this locally at Powell's and maybe Fisherman's but here is a link to Amazon to at least see a nice map.

The above link is for the Willamette. I also have the upper and lower Columbia maps. I bought mine at Powell's in Beaverton.

There is online stuff that is pretty similar but I find the paper map easier to look at and I can access it fearlessly on the river if need be.

At the above site you can find sections covering the Willamette, Columbia  and the rest of the Northwest.

I hope you all find this useful!

Very usefull resource and thanks for sharing. I noticed IslandHoppa (formerly aytchr) had one at dinner the other night, at Dave's but never saw it up close, which river it was in reference to and forgot to ask as we spoke. ??? As many know, I'm a frequent Amazon flyer, but plan to take your lead and get one at Powell's. I think the one on the Willamette will be a good one to start my collection with.  :) Thanks again.

I have the two waterproof Columbia River maps that cover Bonneville to the mouth and McNary to Bonneville. Got them at Fishermans marine for about $9 each. They include fishing spots and tips.

I bet your maps are the same brand as the one in the link.  They have depths, fishing spot tips and are waterproof.

For the best and more usable detail get yourself a Willamette/Columbia River Cruising Atlas.  I have one that I have used for years that doubles as a log book/journal as I take notes right on the map about specific locations/fisheries.  You can take copies of the pages, of the specific section of the river you plan to fish, to take with you on the water then transfer the notes you took on the water back to the original. I use a highlighter and a mechanical pencil to make detailed notes as to trolling lanes, drop offs, humps, points etc. etc.  and how and when fish were caught there.

Wasn't all that impressed last night, when I followed the link to Amazon (really rare form for me). So today I went to Bi-Mart who didn't have any, and then to Wholesale Sports. I picked up the Willamette River version which was priced $7.99, but rings up at $6.99. Figured I could handle that and plan to review as time allows. Thanks again for the information or suggestion pdxfisher.

Glad you like the map CIT! I mostly included the Amazon link because it had a nice picture of the map cover so it would be easier for folks to recognize. Good job finding them at Bi-Mart, I had not noticed them there before.

I have had mine for quite awhile I bought them from fishermans Marine. These maps also have gps locations so you can put the lat Long in your had held or other device. I find them very helpfull. I also use the river Atlas at work and it is a more define map of the river.
