Home of the Famous Olympic Peninsula Rivers -

*** Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Hoh, & Clearwater ***

Fishing on one of these premier rivers can be a fishing experience of a lifetime!

These Rivers a world renown for the Wild Native Steelhead and Large Salmon returns.

Kings & Silvers show up every Fall and make it one the most popular times of year to fish in Forks, Washington.  The Salmon show up after the first rains in early October and run through the middle of November.  The Kings average 25-30 pounds, also some 40-50 pound hawgs too!

Silver Salmon are known for the exceptional size here on the O.P. Rivers (Olympic Peninsula) They average 10-15 pounds and it’s not uncommon to get a few 20+ pound hook nose.

Then next the Steelhead start!!

Winter Hatchery Steelhead – These are the ones you want to put on the barbeque! Coming in at an average size of 6-8lbs and a few in the high teens.  Retaining limits are 3 fish per angler a day! Starting the second week in November is when we start seeing the first of our hatchery Steelhead return to the Bogachiel and Calawah Rivers.  The hatchery run peaks around mid December. The Hoh River also gets a nice return of hatchery Steelhead, peaking in January and it not uncommon to get fresh fish all the way into March.  The Sol Duc has a nice return of hatchery Steelhead in December and January.

Wild Native Steelhead – There is virtually no other place in the lower 48 that receives a stronger return of winter run steelhead like these large hard fighting fish. The Wild Native Steelhead along with the Twilight Series has brought people from all over the planet to come to Forks, Washington.  The Wild Steelhead start returning to the Sol Duc, Calawah, Bogachiel, Hoh & Clearwater rivers in mid December and gain in numbers all the way through April. The average size for these fish is about 8-12lbs, with lots of fish in the upper teens.  Every year some of our lucky clients will hook and land a 20 plus pound Native Steelhead. There is nothing more exciting than hooking one of these acrobatic hard fighting fish!
