Fall on the Klickitat...

If you've not experienced this fisheries before your really missing out on one of the premier rivers of the Northwest. There was more pressure on the river this year than I have ever seen. The lower stretches were packed with drift boats so we concentrated our efforts in the upper stretches. From late August as this glacial river begins to clear up thru the end of September the Fall Chinook fill this river. Swinging bugs for these monsters is a joy and I've yet to find a harder fighting strain of Kings than the Klickitat. Nymping for steelhead can become difficult at times because there are so many kings in the system. These steelhead are also some of the hardest fighting summerrun's that you'll find anywhere. We guide here from early September until the fall rains finally start to arrive on our home waters of Forks, WA. Call and get your dates booked for next year.
