spring chinook

Icicle river Spring Chinook
I offer Icicle River drift boat trips for Spring Chinook out of Leavenworth Washington. This is some of the most beautiful scenery in the foothills of the cascade mountain range. Spring Chinook are the best eating Chinook salmon. Coveted for their omega 3 fatty acids and there butter flavor meat. Generally a two fish limit per person depending on regulations.

Columbia River Summer Chinook I offer guided Summer Chinook fishing trip on July 1st with either my boat or one of my partner boats depending on availability. We are seeing some great numbers of hard fighting great tasting Chinook. Chelan falls, Wells dam and The Brewster pool are just some of the areas we guide.  

fall chinook

I start guiding for Fall Chinook the mid Columbia river the second week in September around the Mouth of the Deschutes River, Klickitat River, Drano lake and bellow Bonneville dam. I then fallow the fish up the river while they are on there journey to spawn in the Hanford reach. This is where I finish my Fall Chinook salmon fishing around mid October. The Hanford reach is a great place to catch that Chinook of a lifetime with fish over forty pounds being caught every year it’s an awesome fishery. Some of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen are in October on the Hanford reach.
