Rich Olson

Member since March 2026 Edmonds, United States
Background
Capt. Rich runs trips out of Edmonds aboard 28' Uniflite Salty Dog Sportfishing. Explore these waters teeming with Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon and Salmon under Rich's expert guidance. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
Techniques
Trolling for salmon is the preferred way of catching salmon in Puget Sound. Trolling on downriggers is a more efficient way of covering more ground, putting your gear in front of the salmon and staying in the strike zone.
