Book your next trip with Schlitts Fishing Charters and find out what the fishing in Leland is all about. Captain Bob will be your guide, which means you'll tap into years of angling experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to troll.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your boat for the day is a 30' Aqua Sport sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
