At Angler's Escapes we offer the ultimate experience. We can help with it all whether you are wanting to book a guided fishing trip, travel or both. We have our own boats operating on the rivers and lakes in Washington State. We specialize in Chinook, Coho & Sockeye Salmon, Steelhead, Sturgeon, Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Tiger Muskie, Trout & Kokanee fishing. We also offer our travel services to help you connect with other fishing charters in other states along with lodging, restaurants, airlines, rental cars, cruise ships, travel insurance, etc. anywhere in the world.

The meeting location listed is a default and you will be updated with and sent the google map location where we will meet and time. You will need a valid Washington fishing license.

If you are fishing for Sturgeon, Salmon or Steelhead you will need to make sure you have the proper catch record card also. Even if it is catch and release you need the card to actively fish for that species of fish.

We look forward to take you fishing!
