  Fishing with Ryan

  6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 15, 2026 • 6 adults

  We went out with Hot Pursuit for a salmon and trout charter, and it was an outstanding experience. Captain Ryan was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to keep us on the fish. His first mate was excellent as well—helpful, professional, and always on top of everything. The action started almost immediately—we had a fish hooked before all the rods were even set out! The crew knew exactly where to put us. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and all of the tackle and rods were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend Hot Pursuit to anyone looking for a fun, successful fishing charter. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book with them again!

  We had an incredible experience with Hot Pursuit Fishing Charter! From the moment we stepped aboard, the captain made us feel welcome and made sure everyone had a great time. He was knowledgeable, professional, and worked hard to get us on the fish. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped, making for a comfortable and enjoyable day on the water. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying charter fishing for the first time, Hot Pursuit creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere while still delivering an exciting fishing experience. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and want everyone to leave with great memories—and hopefully a cooler full of fish! We highly recommend Hot Pursuit Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a fantastic day on the water. We can't wait to book another trip!

  Great time!

  6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 22, 2026 • 6 adults

  Had a great time fishing with Ryan and Brady on Hot Pursuit! They were awesome to work with and put us on salmon all trip. They gave us a heads-up about the forecasted high winds and big waves for our original date and were able to get us out the evening before—even though it was Father’s Day—which we really appreciated. The boat was comfortable, the equipment was great, and it was impressive watching them manage 12 lines for six hours without getting tangled. They kept switching up baits and adjusting depths until we found the fish. We ended up with 10 fish—a mix of kings and rainbows—and lost another 5 or 6. There are a lot of charter options out there, but I highly recommend Hot Pursuit. We’ll definitely be back!

  Best trip ever !!!

  5 Hour Trip (PM) on June 27, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

  Captian Ryan and his first mate were absolutely awesome. communication was quick and very informative. from what to expect to where we needed to park and where out meet up spot was. once we arrive Captian met up with us quickly and we hit the water. we had a group of 6 and everyone got fish in the boat. cleqr instructions on how to get the fish landed and lots of lines in the water. tha boat was duper clean and lots of room to move around. this is the 3rd time ive booked a charter and this was definitely our best experience. looking forward to booking again.

  Got our limit!

  5 Hour Trip (AM) on March 30, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Ryan was amazing! He's very knowledgeable and led us right to some big browns! I would totally recommend Hot pursuit Salmon and Trout Charters! This trip is good for all ages and for anyone who wants to catch a lot of fish! A group of four of us went out on his smaller boat because it was in late March and we could fish a little closer to shore where he knew Browns were going to be. He also has a larger boat that he takes groups out in later spring and summer. We hope to go back this summer and catch some kings, steelheads and cohos. Thank you Captain Ryan for giving my Father, myself, my son and his friend a really great experience.
