About the Salmon Trip
- We have the opportunity to troll up all 5 species of the Pacific Salmon.
- The feeder kings are cruising around fattening themselves up to spawn another year and we catch them year round.
- This is a popular late winter/early spring fishery.
- The spawning kings will come through headed for our local rivers and streams from mid May through July.
- Sockeye’s and Pink’s will arrive throughout the middle of the summer and the Silver’s finish off our salmon season from late July well into September.
- These salmon are as fresh and wild as they get! Don’t wait until they are in the river’s to experience the fight of a salmon.
