We are currently fishing near the town of Brewster, Washington. This is a pilgrimage we have made going on 10 years now, and it has become our second home during the summer. July 1st is always a day we look forward to as it can lead to some of the best fishing we see for the year. Lots of fresh summer chinook tend to be waiting for us, and this year didn’t disappoint. Although we diddnt see as many chinook as we normally do, the Sockeye Fishing was incredible right out of the gate. Boat limits of sockeye have been the norm, and this amazing fishery doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. This is going to be one of those sockeye runs that we talk about for years to come.

If you’re looking to join us for this fishery don’t hesitate to give our office a call at 208-669-1569 or click the book online button to see our calendar of available dates. We will have guides available here until the middle of August, so there are lots of opportunity’s to get in on the action. We would love to have you join us in Brewster, Washington for this amazing Sockeye fishing.
