Large numbers of steelhead return to the Olympic Peninsula every year, with many winter fish over twenty pounds. The Hoh, Sol Duc, Bogachiel, Queets, and Calawah rivers are where we direct most our efforts for these magnificent fish in the Winter. Swinging streamers with spey rods and nymphing with single hand rods are the techniques we use while targeting winter steelhead. We use the boat for transportation and we also nymph on the go between swinging runs to thoroughly cover the water that holds steelhead.

The breathtaking landscape of the Olympic Mountains and old growth timber which are home to large herds of elk and countless eagles, combined with the presence of trophy steelhead make for and unforgettable experience.

The Yakima River begins in the Cascade Range and flows into Eastern Washington. The rolling hills and pristine water makes for beautiful scenery, as well as superb fishing. The river contains good numbers of rainbow and cutthroat trout, averaging between 10"-16" and can be as large as 24". The exquisite landscape, prolific hatches, abundance of fish, and year-round fishing puts the Yakima River on the map as Washington's best catch and release trout fishing location.

The wild summer run steelhead of the Klickitat are some of the biggest in the state. These magnificent fish can reach upwards of twenty pounds. Swinging wet flies and dead drifting nymphs are the most effective techniques while targeting Klickitat steelhead.

The Klickitat River begins on the glacier capped peaks of Mount Adams and flows south through Central Washington into the Columbia River. The beautiful lanscape includes steep canyons, old forests, and ubundant wildlife. A day fly fishing on the Klickitat River is truly unforgettable.

The Wenatchee River boasts strong returns of actively feeding steelhead. These strong fish can reach twenty pounds while the average is 6-10 lbs. Skating dry flies, swinging wet flies, and dead drifting nymphs are all effective techniques while targeting Wenatchee River summer steelhead.

The headwaters of the Wenatchee River begin in Lake Wenatchee in the Cascade Range. The river flows through steep canyons and alpine forests before emptying into the Columbia River in Central Washington.

Chasing summer run steelhead on the Methow River can be simply amazing. Hooking over ten steelhead a day happens often throughout the Fall season on the Methow. Skating dry flies, swinging wet flies, and dead drifting nymphs can all be effective while targeting these 5-12 lb steelhead.

The Methow River is a gorgeous steelhead and trout stream that drains the Cascades to the East. This tributary to the Columbia River is a freestone stream with large boulders and a stunning landscape, not to mention a great summer run steelhead return.
