Olympic
Peninsula
has
some
of
the
finest
and
least
known
saltwater
fly
fishing
in
the
country.
Hard-fighting
salmon
and
sea-run cutthroat trout
cruise
the
beaches
in
search
of
food.
These fish are aggressive, quick to take a fly,
and
when hooked,
put up an impressive fight.

Summer Steelhead/Trout
|
|
2 guests |
$250 |
|
There are days when these are purely steelhead
trips, that is the steelhead are cooperating and the trout are not. There are days when nice sea-run or resident rainbows are rising
freely and the steelhead are completely absent. There are days when on any cast you might take a salmon steel head or trout. For anglers who are content to gamble a little on the
river's moods these are sure to be productive and enjoyable trips.
Those
with their hearts set on landing a summer run should be comfortable making 65 foot casts all day, if you are not see
casting
lessons.)

Beach fishing

6 hours |

$150 |

The Puget Sound offers a unique opportunity to fly fish from the beach for both cutthroat trout and Coho salmon. Our guides will lead you to the most productive beaches at the best tides and help you catch the fish you find there. These trips run about six hours, some tackle provided.

Trout Fishing
The
Olympic Peninsula has three distinct types of trout fishing, sea run fishing in the bays and estuaries, sea run fishing in the streams and rivers
and fishing for resident trout in lakes and streams. Here is a run down of the trips we offer for each.

Runs
in
the
salt
Fly-fishing
for
sea
run
cutthroat
in
the
salt
water
is
unquestionable
some
of
the
most
productive
trout
fishing
we
have.
Good
casters
regularly
catch
a
dozen
or
more
trout
from
14
to
seventeen
inches,
larger
trout
and
the
occasional
Coho
salmon
also
can
be
expected
on
a
daily
basis.
Fly
casters
new
to
the
sport
can
expect
to
catch
a
few
good
trout
and
get
a
look
at
plenty
more.
These
fish
often
respond
very
well
to
dry
flies
and
poppers,
making
this
a
very
visual
and
exciting
fishery
.
All
gear
and
a
great
lunch
is
included
on
full
day
skiff
trips.
$350.00

Sea
Runs
in
the
rivers
A sunny summer drift trip down a beautiful rain forest river is not something to be forgotten. Throw in good numbers of trout in the nine to sixteen inch range and the occasional summer steelhead and you have a pretty typical cutthroat float.
This
fishing
comes
at
a
relaxed
and
un-crowded
pace;
anglers
expecting
really
productive
days
however
must
have
strong
casting
and
mending
skills.
Full
day
float
with
gear
and
lunch.
$250.00
for
two
guests.

Resident
trout
fishing
O.K.
this
is
what
most
people
think
of
when
they
think
of
fly-fishing
for
trout.
Fast
freestone
streams,
dry
flies
and
native
rainbows.
Our
resident
trout
fishing
is
not
as
productive
as
the
sea-run
cutthroat
fishing,
but
it
can
be
quite
good
in
the
mid
to
late
summer.
The
rainbows
we
catch
here
are
wild
fat
healthy
fish
that
often
have
never
felt
a
hook,
they
are
usually
under
14
inches
but
are
strong
and
crazy
fighters.
Lunch and gear provided
Drift or wade trips
$250.00 for two guests

Fly
fishing
for
winter
steelhead
is
hard.
The
weather
can
be
terrible,
and
you
can
go
days
between
bites.
It
may
be
the
most
challenging
fly-fishing
in
the
world.
Long
casts
and
difficult
mending
techniques
are
standard.
Winter
steelheading
is
the
number
one
passion
of
our
guides.
We
want
help
you
catch
fish
and
show
you
what
we
love
about
this
fishery.
Here
are
some
of
the
basic
techniques
we
use. |
