The opportunities for fishing Port Townsend and the
Olympic Peninsula are plentiful. Our local saltwater here is alive with a
variety of species that will challenge your skills as an angler. The nutrient
rich rivers and streams of the Olympic Mountains support healthy populations
of wild rainbow trout. In spring our local lakes are stocked with more rainbow
trout anxious for a well-placed fly or lure. Seasonal runs of Coho/Silver,
King, Pink and Chum Salmon return from the Pacific Ocean to local inshore
waters and rivers providing exciting action throughout the summer and fall.
Coastal Sea-Run Cutthroat Trout are a unique native fish and along with
resident silver salmon provide consistent saltwater fly-fishing opportunities
throughout the year. Reef fish such as Lingcod, over a dozen species of
Rockfish / Sea Bass and Pacific Halibut are abundant in the Strait of Juan de Fuca
and our charters specialize in the exciting sport of light tackle and shallow
water jigging for these species.
The Olympic Peninsula offers some of the most
spectacular boating in the country. Whales, harbor seals, sea lions, porpoises,
river otters and bald eagles are a common sight around Port Townsend.
Protection Island Wildlife Refuge is a great place to spot tufted puffins and
over a dozen species of summer nesting sea birds.
Admiralty Inlet and Hood
Canal is well known for its pristine waters and plentiful shellfish. A great
family activity is exploring the local beaches and tide pools for all sorts of
marine creatures and gathering a bucket of delicious clams and oysters for an
evening clambake. Spend a day setting out crab or prawn traps and exploring
the area for coastal wildlife and the spectacular Northwest scenery.
