These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Coho Salmon, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On these trips, you can expect to troll using heavy tackle.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
Your excursion begins aboard a 28' Cherokee sportfishing vessel with room for 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, you will need 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Steelhead Nation Outfitters and get hooked!

Jason Arnold5.0VerifiedAwesome fishing experience!
4 Hour Trip – Evening Power Hour on August 18, 2026 • 3 adultsI would like to highly recommend Steelhead Nation Outfitters for your next charter fishing experience. Captain Anthony and First Mate Mike were extremely welcoming and friendly. Captain Anthony answered all of my questions regarding booking an appointment down to preparing for the trip. After meeting the guys in person it’s completely apparent that they both love what they are doing and it definitely shows in their words and actions. Mike is extremely helpful and hard working first mate. There wasn’t a minute that went by where he wasn’t providing assistance to the kids or giving encouragement. We had a great time salmon fishing guys!! Thank you for making our first experience out a memorable event. I can’t say enough good things.
Koby Kuhlman5.0VerifiedA True Die-Hard Fisherman Who Knows How to Put You on Fish!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 1, 2026 • 5 adultsWe had an incredible experience with Captain Anthony and first mate Mike! From the moment we left the dock, they were friendly, professional, and made us feel welcome. They were both extremely knowledgeable, always explaining what we were doing, why we were doing it, and answering every question we had throughout the trip. They were also great to talk to, which made the day even more enjoyable. The fishing was outstanding—we ended the trip with 15 king salmon, 1 coho, and 1 steelhead! They worked hard to keep us on fish all day and made sure everyone had a chance to reel in some great catches. If you're looking for a charter with experienced, hardworking, and genuinely great people, I can't recommend Captain Anthoy and Mike enough. This was a trip we'll remember for a long time, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!
Tara Young5.0VerifiedAbsolutely phenomenal captain and first name mateate
6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 31, 2026 • 2 adultsI picked this charter because I loved the boat. I've been on a charter in the Great lakes before and it felt like I was on a military fishing trip not so much fun. These guys were excellent they were fun they were ambitious they helped us with everything we needed help with they made sure we got on the fish and we caught 14 big salmon awesome day for everyone can't thank them enough for this wonderful day. They even helped my father-in-law get a big King Salmon pulled in. It made his day as all of ours thanks again yours truly Tara Young
Ethan Ervin5.0Verified15 Fish 8/9 AM!
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 9, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain Anthony and first mate Nate were awesome. They were extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely fun to be around. You could tell they were invested in getting customers on fish as they were constantly making adjustments between lures, lure depth, and depth of water to stay on the bite. We caught 15 fish… mostly kings, a few coho, and a steelhead. Would highly recommend!

Ron Perry4.7VerifiedSalmon galore
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 15, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great time fishing eith Steelhead Nation Outfitters. Captain Anthony knew exactly where to go and get into a large school of fish. A personal event came up for him but he did not waiver and did what he could to help us limit-out. He and his capable mate, Nate, were very helpful and managed using the right baits and depths to troll. It was a fun experience for us provided by Anthony and Nate.
