We are passionate about pursuing steelhead by using spey rods to swing flies. While we use the boat to provide unlimited access to the best runs on the river, all fishing is done while wading using spey rods and swung fly techniques. Fishing Method: We use drift boats/rafts to float the rivers, getting out at productive runs and wade fishing. Please let us know if you have a preference of which river you would like to fish.

Although complete blowouts do occur, they are relatively rare due to the diversity of rivers available to us around the Forks area. Each of these rivers respond differently to varying amounts of precipitation, making one of them the best choice on a given day. The determination of which river we fish on a particular day depends on river conditions. These include the Hoh, Bogachiel, Sol Duc, Calawah, and Queets. Rivers: We fish all of the major Olympic Peninsula Rivers. Your guide will meet you each morning directly at your lodging or at a central meeting location in the town of Forks.
