Salmon Fishing - Steelhead Fishing - Rates

If you choose to fish with my service, you may want to book a trip to fish for the huge Chinook (King) Salmon that reach up to 50 pounds in the Fall. Although rare, the true 50 pounders do exist and I have clients each year that manage to boat one of these huge beasts. Our average Coastal Chinook Salmon is around 23 pounds. These are by far my favorite fish to target.

Along with the Chinook, we would be fishing for Coho (Silver) Salmon. They don't get as large, but fight extremely well and are great table fare. The average Coho Salmon weighs in at 8 pounds but there are enough 20 plus pounders around to keep things interesting.

Throw the hard fighting Chum Salmon in the mix and your arms may be tired of fighting fish at the end of the day.

This year's also a "Pink" year, so we'll be booking trips on the Skagit.

Depending on where the fish are, we'll fish the Cowlitz, Humptulips, Chehalis, or the Skagit for Salmon.

Summer and Winter Steelhead make their way up the streams and rivers all year around and you never know when you could get one. Summer run start in good numbers in May and peak in July. (A fun and popular trip is early Summer Steelhead and Spring Chinook combo trips). Hatchery Winter Steelhead start in November and peak in December and January.

In early January the large aggressive natives start to enter the mix and this is when the dreams of those massive 20 pounders come true. Although not an every day occurrence, just knowing that your next cast could be that 20 - 30 pounder that most only dream about keeps you on your toes.
