About Your Trip

If you're an adventurous angler looking to catch some of the Northwest's coolest species, look no further! This is not your average Trout trip; you'll be chasing Walleye, a delicious eating fish that's originally from the Upper Midwest, as well as Sturgeon, the biggest freshwater fish in North America, and Shad, a terrific pound-for-pound fighter know for acrobatic jumps and flips. These fish are a blast to catch, and great on the table as well!

Captain Ivan is an expert when it comes to these waters, and he'll guide you to the best spots. You'll use a variety of lures and bait, depending on the target species, the weather, and the water conditions, but regardless, when that fish is on, get ready for a fight! Each fish is different; Sturgeon—which can be six feet long and more than 200 pounds—will tear the line off a reel during a run, while Shad are sometimes called "freshwater tarpon" for their leaps and jumps.

You'll be fishing from Captain Ivan's 24 Alumaweld boat. She's driven by a 90-HP Mercury engine, s you'll get out there smoothly, and has a live well for bait as well as a suite of electronics to help you find fish. Captain Ivan will supply everything you need, including rods, reels, and tackle; just bring some sunscreen, your Washington fishing license, and a hat!
