Fish Species Available:
June: This is a great time of year because the boat pressure is not bad. Lake Trout are everywhere and Kings can be found, sometimes in really good numbers. Steelhead are also around. July: This time of the year is great for multi species fish. There is a large amount Lake Trout available. These trips we often see multi species of fish. Mid to late July we start seeing more Kings typically. Species available are King Salmon, Steelhead and Lake Trout. August: This time of year is when the biggest fish of the year are caught. Coho fishing also gets better as August progresses. We intercept them coming home to spawn in the rivers. Species available are Kings Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, and Lake Trout. September: This time of the year the fishing can be on fire as the mature salmon to come home and go up the river. These will be the biggest fish of the year. We troll in front of the piers back and fourth. After the 4 year olds have gone up the river, we start targeting the 1-3 year old salmon as well as Steelhead. October: When all have put their boats away, we are still at it and mainly have the lake to ourself. The fish are hungry and filling up for the winter. 2-3 year old salmon are abundant and steelhead are starting to come home which makes for a great time to be fishing. ***As much as we would like to guarantee a certain species of fish during a certain time of the year, the above description is based on history of migration but is not always the case. In the end, Mother Nature is the one in charge and we will do our best to put you on the best fishing is possible at the given date you booked. *** All trip times are from dock to dock. Trips leave at 5 - 6 Am and 4:30 - 5 PM. June and July trips do have a mid day trip available after the morning trip. Trips start June 10 and run til October 31.
