Westport Salmon Fishing

Westport Salmon Fishing has started off really well.  Been getting limits of hatchery kings just about every day.  This Sunday the limit turns to two salmon of which one can be a king, either wild or hatchery.  Weather has been rough the last 2 days but looking to get back at it late in the week. Fish have been biting quite well on anything you put down there as long as they are there and you go the right way in the current.

Got to spend a couple of great days with my son catching kings and watching baseball games.  Ryan caught several kings and the Tumwater T-Birds finished a 17-0 season by winning the league tournement this weekend.  Great fathers day all around!  

    

Halibut Season Report

Lots of great action for halibut and lingcod.  Been fishing out of La Push.  Weather has been either flat or rough, go figure with the weather we have had this year.  Hope to get two more days in next week before we switch to salmon in mid June.  Looking forward to salmon, it is way easier work. 

We finally have a new computer so we will be able to keep yoou up to date this season.

Steelhead Winding Down, Summer Salmon Coming Up!

 Winding down on the Olympic Peninsuala and getting ready for Halibut, Lingcod and Summer Salmon.  Here are a few pictures from the last few days on the Hoh.  Big fish!

Halibut and Lingcod just around the corner in May.  Ocean chinook begins in June and we look for anothe banner year all the way through August.  We even get a couple weeks to catch chinook in Grays Habor.  Give us a call.

Westport Ocean Salmon Season

 Ocean salmon season is just around the corner.  The projections are just starting to evolve in the North of Falcon season setting process.  By what I am hearing it bodes to be another great salmon season with a tremendous run of chinook.  Don't miss out.  I will be posting seasons and sending emails as soon as our seasons become finalized. 

Father and Son Weekend

Great weekend with TJ and Payton.  Its an annual trip for this father and son.  Payton again outdoes his dad for total fish for the weekend.  Seems like a broken record, rain all day but fish biting well.  Not all that bad with forced air heat for the fisherman in our boats.  I don't know how we ever survived before we built these great heaters 10 years ago.

Lots of great fish in the 9 to 14 pound range.  Lots of fish getting up our rivers to spawn.  So far this year only one native fish has been kept by our customers for over 200 fish landed.  People are finally seeing the importance of releasing these magnificent fish so we can enjoy them for many generations to come.

Rain and First Steelhead



Barret McCann and 12# hen


Barret McCann and his second steelhead of the day.  This 9 year old from Gig Harbor ended up catching his first steelhead and four for the day including a 17 pound buck.  His brother Carter also got in on the action landing 5 steelhead for the day.  A very special thanks to grandpa (Joe McCann) for taking his son Alex and grandsons Barret and Carter fishing. Fishing traditions are always remembered and this family has a great start. I will add more photos of these guys as soon as I get them unloaded.

Steelhead Fishing Really Good

On  good roll with large steelhead this year.  So far 7 at or above 20 pounds and 2 over 25 pounds. Seems to be a good number of large fish returning.  A few more mounts for Blackwater.







Looking forward to a little dryer weather. Kind of tired having wet sleeves all day. Thank good for front and rear forced air heating systems in the Hyde Drift boat. Makes a cold day quite comfortable.

Stay tuned for the announcement of ocean salmon season options.  We should get some word on optons in the next few weeks.
