Salmon Report and Steelhead dreamin'


Hi all hope summer is treatung you great and you can avoid the chores and get some time out on the water! Fishing is still good in the Brewster pool and below Wells dam for kings. We are still catching a good amount of sockeye in the Brewster area as well with a couple kings a trip also, the sockeye and kings are both still in very good shape! Below Wells dam is also been pretty good for kings at times, the season as a whole has been pretty hit and miss but the guys that stay with it and fish hard are being rewarded with some nice fish. We are still booking salmon trips for up north and also booking trip for fall run chinook that are forecast to be the second largest run on record at 650 000 fish over Bonneville dam!! We re booking trips to fish the Hanford Reach for these huge kings now and we will start fishing them from Sept 1 on. Now for some steelhead news, the rumor is cranking up in high gear with starting date rumors as it always does this time of year but there my be some VERY good news for all of us who love to steelhead fish we may see a record early openner so early I dont even dare say here on the almighty web but stay in touch cause there could be some huge news very soon!! We are also starting to book steelhead trips and they are starting to fill up in the month of October so get your trip now before its too late!! I am off to the river see you on the water.

Salmon season in full swing!!!

Fishing has been excellent the past month! Sockeye fishing started down here in Wenatchee and until recently was very good now it continues to be good in the Brewster pool area lots of 10 plus fish days great for kids with lots of action!. It will start to taper off soon as fish head up river but the kings are really starting to show up in good numbers and fishing is really picking up for them! A well as Lake Wenatchee being open for sockeye also with a 2 fish limit. Its always fun to have the chance to land a 40lb plus fish but most are averaging in the low 20s. Booking trips now for both fishing in Brewster and in and around the Wenatchee area, get a trip now while fishing is hot!
