These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Salmon, 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' Sportfishing with room for 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, 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 may 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.
