Lots of OP steelhead on tap

Fishing on the OP has been great the last few days.  With the water receding, Steelhead have been working their way up the rivers.  The Sol Duc river was the place to be over the past 4 days.  Snider crk hatchery fish and many wild fish have been in the mix.  Side drifting bait has been producing best for me.

Good outlook for Olympic Peninsula Steelhead

  Fishing has been great on the OP rivers when the weather allows.  High water recently has put most of the rivers on hold until the rain lets up and the rivers drop.  Snider crk hatchery fish have been fairly abundant on recent outings, as well as a good showing of wild fish.  Plugs and Bait have been top producers.

Olympic Peninsula Steelhead

  It looks like 2010 is setting up to be a banner Steelhead year.  We have had some spectacular fishing lately on the OP rivers.  Side drifting bait, plugs, and fly fishing have all produced some very good fishing.  The Sol Duc river broodstock steelhead (snider) are showing in good numbers.  Yesterday we had 2 that were over 35″ long.  The Hoh River is producing great catches of hatchery steelhead when in shape.  

Cheers,

Olympic Peninsula Winter Steelhead

  Fishing has been good for winter Steelhead out on the Olympic Peninsula rivers.  The Bogachiel and Hoh are producing good catches of winter run Steelhead.  Drifting eggs and backtrolling plugs has been producing best for me.  The rivers are in prime shape and should continue to produce hatchery fish through the New Year.  Fishing has been good out on Puget Sound as well.  We have been catching some nice Blackmouth (king) Salmon when the conditions allow.   

A good day of fishing, for Rick and his wife Pam.

Winter Steelhead and Blackmouth (king)

  With all the wild weather lately, it has been hard to get out on the Sound or the Olympic Peninsula rivers.  Between wind storms, fishing for Blackmouth in Puget Sound has been very good.  The last few trips out we have had very consistent action on some good sized Blackmouth up to 10lbs.  This last rain storm and the one impending, has put the finishing touch on the Fall Salmon run on the OP.  Their will be a few Salmon around when the rivers recede, this is time to look for Winter Steelhead.  As the water drops into shape.  I would expect a decent shot of Steelhead in the Bogachiel, Calawah, and Hoh.  

This past system squeezed out more than 10" of rain in 24hrs.

 

 

 

Fall fishing in the great North West.

 Salmon fishing has been great out on the Olympic Peninsula.  The Quileute river and Sol Duc rivers have been stuffed with Coho salmon.  Best lures have been spinners and spoons.  Some good action for winter blackmouth (kings) out in MA 10.  Jeff head had been a productive area prior to the wind.  I just got back from a 10 day trip in BC.  This has been an annual trip that never fails to impress.

Great Coho fishing

A nice Humboldt

  Pink Salmon and Coho fishing in the Sound continues to be great.  We have had some good action on Coho and Pinks in the central part of Puget Sound.  Ace High flys and Coho Killers fished 40-60′ deep have been producing well.  I fished for a few days with some friends out at Neah Bay.  The fishing was great.  We had a good swarm of Humboldt Squid around, so we decided to keep one and see how they ate.

 

 

Seattle Coho fishing

Coho fishing has been very good over the last couple days in the central part of Puget Sound.  I have not left the Meadow pt / Westpoint areas for over a month.  Today we had great action with Coho Killers and Ace high flies fished at 40′-60′.  Big Bob from Wisconsin caught this 19lb coho this morning along with a few other 8-12lb coho.

Puget Sound Coho and Pinks

Fishing has been great for Coho and Pink Salmon.  Most trips have had limits of Salmon, with many Coho working into the mix.  Shilshole Bay has been a top producer for me and others.  Fishing has been best at 40-80′ with flashers and Spoons, or Hootchies.  King salmon fishing is now closed in MA 9 and 10.

Seattle Fishing

Salmon fishing continues to be great in the central part of area 10.  Pinks, Kings and Coho have been in the mix.  Friday we had great action for King Salmon, and Pinks.  Saturday was Ocean Coho and Pinks.  A great time to fish as you dont know what is going to climb on.  A few late pics from a summer trip out on the Pacific Ocean with a few good friends.

Your Captain can catch them as well
