A friend of mine just returned from Baja, although temperatures reached over 900 degrees they still managed to have fun.  Nothing too exciting, just jumbo Dorado, sailfish and tuna going ballistic in flat calm sea’s.  Kinda like here. Except here it’s a little cooler.

Think October.

 I only have about ten days of October booked so far, but e-mails are starting to roll in, So here is the skinny.  From the last two weeks of September through the fist two weeks of October we should have good mixed bag fishing for summer and early fall coho, summer steelhead and sea run cutthroat, along with a few fall kings and the occasional sockeye.

This is the real deal, kick back, swinging dry lines or light tips, some dry fly fishing, beautiful weather, no crowds, can’t believe how cool it is Northwest fly fishing experience.  For those who book early I will throw in a shore lunch and a early bird booking discount. (Book before August 15)

Fall fishing on the Hoh

Now, for those who want to be in the thick of things, from the second week of October through the end of November its salmonsauresrex time.  The fly fishing is good but if you want to really rail some fish for the freezer and the smoker this is one of those time of year when I say screw it, grab a gear rod and lets load up.

The last several years the last two weeks of November have been far and away the best.

I will have tons more news about this in the coming weeks.

Right now the summer steelhead scene is hot and dusty, a little rain would go a long way.
