MyArea EXPERIENCE IDEA
Fishing Lesson
- Duration: 24 h
Description:
Imagine yourself in the great Pacific Northwest for the first time. You have heard of world-class salmon fishing but don’t know where to start. There are hundreds of miles of rivers and complex rules and techniques. Then imagine you find the perfect guide to walk you through your experience of peacefully floating the best river, using the best tackle, and then feeling the strong tug of a large King salmon. You set the hook and the beast jumps from the water. I’ve based this knowledge for this experience on 16 years as a professional salmon fishing guide throughout the Forks area. Silver Salmon technically called Coho Salmon are known for the exceptional size here on the O.P. Rivers (Olympic Peninsula) They average 10-15 pounds and it’s not uncommon to get a few 20+ pound range. Silver Salmon is one of the most exciting to fish for largely because of its antics when hooked, but it is also a delicious tasting salmon. These great fighting fish show up in good numbers after the first big rain in early October. Before you head out, make sure you have a current fishing license if required by local laws. Like any outdoor pursuit, your fishing needs will only continue to expand as you learn them. It's a truly amazing experience. All this is possible by finding a local guide that knows the area and takes you through the entire experience. The perfect Host!
