Oh, and don't forget your camera – you'll want proof of that monster you're going to catch!
Rainbow Trout: These beauties are a favorite among anglers for their feisty fight and tasty fillets. They're active year-round but really start biting in spring and fall. Look for them near drop-offs and around submerged structures. When you hook one, get ready for some acrobatics – these guys are known for their spectacular jumps!
Coho Salmon: Also known as silver salmon, these hard-fighting fish start showing up in late summer and stick around through fall. They're not the biggest salmon out there, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. Coho are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a blast to catch.
Chinook Salmon: The king of the salmon world, Chinooks are the heavyweights you're hoping to land. These bruisers can top 30 pounds and will test your skills and your gear. They're most active in the summer months, and when you hook one, hold on tight – you're in for the fight of your life!
Brown Trout: These wily predators are a challenge to catch, which makes landing one all the sweeter. They prefer cooler water, so we target them in the deeper parts of the lake. Brown trout are known for their strength and stamina, so when you hook one, settle in for a good battle.
Lake Trout: These deep-water denizens are the marathon runners of the fish world. They put up a long, steady fight that'll have your arms burning. We typically find them in the deepest parts of the lake, and they're most active in the cooler months. Landing a big laker is a real accomplishment, and something you'll be bragging about for years to come.
There's something special about being out on the water, surrounded by nature, with the anticipation of a big catch keeping you on your toes.

Brown trout are wily and challenging, making them a favorite for many anglers. They typically run 12-20 inches but can grow much larger. You'll find them in cool streams and rivers, often tucked under cut banks or near submerged logs. Fall is prime time as they become more aggressive before spawning. Browns are known for their wariness and hard strikes, making for an exciting catch. They're also great on the table, with firm, pink flesh. These trout feed heavily at dawn and dusk. Try drifting a nymph or small streamer through likely holding spots. Here's a local secret: after a good rain, target areas where small streams enter the main river – browns often stack up there to ambush baitfish. Whether you're a fly fishing purist or prefer spinning gear, outsmarting a big brown trout is always satisfying.
Chinook salmon, or kings, are the heavyweights of the Pacific salmon world. These bruisers can top 30 pounds, with some monsters pushing 50+. You'll find them in large rivers and coastal waters, often holding in deep pools and near structure. Spring and fall are peak seasons as they migrate. Chinooks are prized for their powerful runs and stamina – be ready for a serious fight. They're also considered the best-eating salmon, with rich, fatty meat perfect for grilling or smoking. Early mornings and overcast days can be most productive. These big fish often hit large plugs, spinners, or cut bait. Here's a pro tip: when trolling, vary your speed to trigger strikes from following fish. Landing a trophy king salmon is a bucket list item for many anglers, and for good reason.
Coho salmon, also called silvers, are a favorite target in the Pacific Northwest. These feisty fish average 8-12 pounds but can push 20+ in some areas. Look for them in coastal rivers and streams, often holding in deeper pools and runs. Fall is prime time as they return from the ocean to spawn. Cohos are known for their acrobatic leaps and strong runs, giving anglers a real workout. They're also prized for their rich, orange flesh – great for the grill or smoker. Early mornings and evenings are often most productive. These salmon respond well to bright, flashy lures that mimic baitfish. A local secret: try twitching a jig near submerged logs or cut banks where cohos like to rest. Whether you're a seasoned pro or first-timer, hooking into a fresh silver salmon is always a rush.
Lake trout are the giants of the char family, often pushing 15-40 pounds in some waters. These cold-water specialists inhabit deep, clear lakes across the northern U.S. and Canada. You'll typically find them suspended over deep basins or near underwater structures. Early spring and late fall are prime times when they move shallower. Lakers are prized for their size and hard-fighting ability – be ready for a battle of endurance. They're also excellent eating, with firm, orange flesh perfect for smoking. Jigging or trolling deep with large lures often produces best. A local tip: target points and humps that drop into deep water, especially during low-light periods. Lake trout fishing can be technical, but landing a trophy laker is a true accomplishment for any angler.
Rainbow trout are a blast to catch and a favorite among anglers. These colorful fish typically run 8-24 inches long and put up an acrobatic fight when hooked. You'll find them in cool, clear rivers and streams, often near rocky areas or fallen logs. Spring and fall are prime seasons, when water temps are just right. Rainbow trout are known for their spectacular jumps and runs, making for an exciting catch. They're also great eating fish with delicate, pink flesh. To boost your chances, try drifting a nymph through deeper pools or runs. These trout can be picky, so matching the hatch is key. A local tip: on sunny days, look for rainbows in shadier spots near overhanging banks or trees. Whether you're fly fishing or spin casting, landing a nice rainbow is always a thrill.
