It will be very limited report as the rivers here in Washington state have been at flood stage for nearly a month. Rivers just dropped into fishable state last week and things look to be starting off very well for the Wynoochee river. With a release of 172,000 smolts, plus 3 salt returns from the previous release year, the Wynoochee looks to be really productive this season. In the last 3 adventures, on the river, we've had 4-6 hookups each day. I have availability right now. This season will close on after Febuary 15th 2026, so there is limited time to get out and experience these chrome rockets in the beautiful pacific northwest.

Fishing around the Olympic Peninsula has been steady as water conditions have been stable most of February and early March. Chilly mornings and blue skies make for great steelheading
