February 2, 2015 ... A solid start thus far to our Olympic Peninsula wild steelhead fishery! Numbers look favorable and plenty of big fish already in the mix!

We still have a few scattered Feb. and March dates left to fill and if your schedule is flexible enough to match up on one of these holes, we're offering some rare mid-season savings on these dates!

Magnificent wild steelhead in waters seen by few.

Looking ahead, we're also booking dates for one of the OP's lesser-known fisheries, and that would be the Quillayute system's Spring Chinook run. You can choose to fish it early in April and make a combo day of it with angling attention split between late winter steelhead and early Springers or make it a Springer-only day closer to their peak throughout the month of May. For a limited time, we also have savings available in this fishery as well.

40.5 inch wild steelhead for Shawn Hines on January 27.

Of course, mid-winter is traditionally the peak booking season for Alaska summertime fishing getaways. While many operations are out working the sportshow circuit, you won't find us there as we're out fishing!

We invite you to visit our Alaska Fishing Section and / or contact us if you're considering a possible trip this coming summer. With over two decades of operations under our belt, we'll be happy to help you plan the perfect trip to suit your group's desires!

Washington Fall Salmon, Winter Steelhead, and Spring Chinook Fishing

- Olympic Peninsula, Steelhead and Salmon Fishing Guides -

Now somewhat famous thanks to the books / movies of Twilight, and now the Nat Geo Channel's spectacle of The Legend of Mick Dodge, for many years the small town of Forks (pop. ~3100) was only known amongst a small segment of the public for three things: giant trees, unparalleled annual rainfall, and great fishing!

Join us on a float trip on one of the many rivers around Forks on the renowned Olympic Peninsula for king salmon to 60 pounds, silver (coho) salmon to 25, and the world's largest strain of winter-run steelhead like this one to the right. A trip with Bob offers you over two decades of guiding experience on some of the salmon and steelhead's world most fabled streams: the Hoh, Sol Duc, Bogachiel, and Calawah Rivers.

We cater to both conventional and fly anglers and you can even do both during the course of a single day if you wish. Fishing techniques are typically very hands-on but are also able to be geared towards anglers of any ability level. If there's a particular technique that you wish to learn or utilize, we'll be happy to accommodate your request.

We offer guests the opportunity to fish from either a heated driftboat or inflatable Puma raft,  so we have the flexibility to fish any section of river at any water level. Our Washington salmon & steelhead fishing season runs from September through late May and offers anglers world-class fisheries within a few hours drive of the Seattle area.
