he arrival of October
always signals three things in the Forks, Washington area: the changing of
the leaves, the arrival of the heavy fall rains, and the return of the
mighty king and acrobatic silver salmon to the Olympic Peninsula rivers.
Fall is an exciting time for Washington
salmon fishermen - Chinook, Coho and Chum can stock the freezer and provide
days of exciting fishing memories
The fall rains bring the river levels
up from their low, late-summer levels and bring in the salmon waiting for
river levels to raise so they can begin their Fall migration.
Anglers anxiously await
the return of the salmon to the Olympic Peninsula rivers, such as the Hoh,
Bogachiel, Sol Duc, Quillayute, and Calawah, anticipating the furious
battles that they sometimes provide ... whether it be the blazing run of of
the hefty king salmon, or the sometimes vicious leaps and twists of their
smaller cousin, the silver, or coho salmon. |

We offer Chinook, Coho and finally Chum salmon
fishing trips throughout the state of Washington.
The king salmon
generally average around 25-30 pounds, with fish in the mid- to high forties
not at all unusual, and 50 to 60+ pound 'slabs' caught a few times each year
on these rivers. |
|
Although smaller than the king salmon,
many people prefer the aerial acrobatics and the table qualities of the
silver salmon or Coho
Silvers average 10-14 pounds with fish
near 20 pounds in bonus years
Because we only fish the
peak of the fall salmon run, fishing dates, especially week-ends often book
early, so contact us as early as possible to reserve your salmon fishing
dates. |
