Wilder Adventures
Spend the day with Wilder Adventures and find out what the fishing in Arcadia is all about! Your guide for the day is Captain Chad, so you'll benefit from years of local experience.
Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll.
Capt. Chad is happy to have kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks!
You'll step aboard a 30' Baha Cruiser that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Chad has rods and reels for you, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. 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.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great trip for all
Captain Chad and his first mate Brody were exceptional! I brought two of my kids on this trip. They both caught their first Salmon of their lives. What an experience. They both started getting sea sick and Captain Chad immediately grabbed his supply of dramamine (spl) and turned the course of the boat to handle the waves better. Top notch! It was a slow day but they never stopped working to eventually get us on the fish. We are going again with them at the end of the month. Highly recommend them to anyone.

Great captain and first mate
Our trip out with Captain Chad was amazing! We fished the evening bite for kings and really enjoy our time on his boat. They were very easy to work with and you can tell he wants to put you on fish. We ended the night around 10pm with a triple header and with the guidance of Captain Chad we were able to land all three fish. We enjoyed our conversations and time together with Captain Chad. We will 100% be going back.
