Chinook Salmon
April - May & Mid August - October
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350
up to 6 people
The king of the Columbia — Chinook can weigh 15 to 50+ pounds and put up an incredible fight. We fish for spring Chinook starting mid to late April in the Wind River and Drano Lake area, then below McNary Dam and Ice Harbor Dam on the Snake River in May. Our favorite season kicks off mid August with the fall Chinook run above Bonneville Dam, following the fish all the way to the Hanford Reach through the end of October. Fall runs are the largest of the year, with aggressive biters in the 15-40 pound range.

Sockeye & Summer Chinook
Mid June - July
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350
up to 6 people
Sockeye and summer Chinook is another favorite of ours. Summer runs tend to produce larger fish on average, with 20-30 pounders being common. We get started in June on the Hanford Reach and move to Brewster Pool once the fish congregate at the mouth of the Okanogan River. Warmer water pushes fish into deeper holding water, making for exciting action.

Coho are aggressive and acrobatic — known for explosive strikes and spectacular aerial displays. We fish for Coho mid October into early November, mostly at the mouth of the Klickitat River or Drano Lake. When the run is on, the action is fast and furious with limits common on good days. Excellent table fare with rich, orange-red flesh perfect for grilling or smoking.

Steelhead are widely considered the greatest freshwater game fish — ocean-run rainbow trout that combine raw power with acrobatic fights. We do most of our steelhead fishing by the Ringold Hatchery on the Hanford Reach during the winter months. Fish average 8-12 pounds and are known for their incredible strength in cold water.

Year-Round (Catch & Release)

Hook into one of the oldest species on Earth. White sturgeon on the Columbia can exceed 10 feet and weigh several hundred pounds — the fight is unlike anything else in freshwater. We do most of our catch-and-release fishing for oversized sturgeon on the Hanford Reach. Retention seasons start at McNary Dam and are very limited, mostly quota based.

Walleye
Year-Round
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350

Arguably the best-tasting freshwater fish you can catch, with firm, white, mild-flavored fillets. We fish several lakes and rivers for walleye year-round, plus the Columbia on the Washington/Oregon border below McNary Dam. Fish range from solid eaters in the 2-5 pound range to trophy specimens pushing 10+ pounds.

- ▸Banks Lake

Trophy Walleye
January - March
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350
up to 6 people
Early spring is the time for a 10+ lb walleye. As water temperatures cool, trophy-class fish feed aggressively. We target these fish mostly at night, trolling on the rivers — fishing under the stars with big walleye on the bite is a truly unique experience.

Lake Roosevelt
November - March
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350
up to 6 people
November through March trips for trout and kokanee on Lake Roosevelt. The massive reservoir behind Grand Coulee Dam supports healthy populations that feed actively through the colder months. Trolling with flashers and worm harnesses produces rainbows in the 14-20 inch range, and kokanee limits come quickly once you find the school.
Locations
- ▸Lake Roosevelt
Lake Chelan
April - May
Per Seat
$250
Full Boat
$1,350
up to 6 people
Seek kokanee salmon on Lake Chelan during the spring months. The deep, clear waters support a thriving kokanee population — these landlocked sockeye are some of the best-eating fish in freshwater, with rich red flesh perfect for smoking. Trolling at depth with downriggers is the primary method, and spring fish are fat and healthy after a winter of feeding.
