Seasons

     Our season begins in June and runs for 17 weeks, usually through the first week of October. During the season we have excellent action for rainbow trout, northern pike, halibut, grayling, arctic char, lake trout, and salmon.

     June is the best for catching rainbow on dry flies. July is one of the best months of the season with three species of salmon available headed by the immense sockeye run. Rainbow trout are caught throughout the season with the largest fish usually found in June, September, and October. It is not unusual for rainbows to be ten pounds and 30 inches in length, with trophy rainbows being larger.
