Meet Captain Rich Olson—a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed skipper who was born and raised on Washington’s rugged shores and has spent more than 40 years chasing salmon across Puget Sound. If it swims these waters, Rich has tracked it, hooked it, and learned its habits like an old friend.

Upbeat, dialed-in, and laser-focused on putting clients on fish, Captain Rich brings a lifetime of Northwest know-how to every trip. For him, running salmon charters isn’t a job—it’s the passion that’s defined his whole life on the Sound.

Step aboard, breathe in the salt air, and try your hand at the iconic salmon fishery of the Pacific Northwest. Rich would love to show you why these waters have kept him coming back for decades. 🐟🎣🏴‍☠️
