Forks Washington Olympic Peninsula Salmon / Steelhead Fishing Guide Service

Being a life-long resident of Forks Washington  which located in the heart the Olympic Peninsulas best Salmon and Steelhead Fishing. I've been privileged to a lifetime of experience, enjoying some of the worlds finest wild steelhead, salmon & sea-run cutthroat trout fishing, since I was old enough to tie on a hook and carry a fishing rod. The rivers near Forks, Washington, my home town, still host some of the largest runs of wild steelhead, salmon & trout in the continental USA. And thanks to conservation efforts, especially with native steelhead, the fishing has improved over the last decade. The Forks area drains an enormous watershed and feeds the five major rivers I fish (Sol Duc, Calawah, Hoh, Bogachiel, Quillayute).

There are few steelhead, salmon or trout fishing anglers who will ever know these Olympic Peninsula  rivers as well as I do and fewer still who really go the extra distance and who truly enjoy providing others with a once-in-a-lifetime fishing adventure.

I live on the banks of the Sol Duc River and provide a year round fishing guide service here on our Olympic Peninsula rivers and will be glad to host your fishing trip and make lodging arrangements for any size group. Everything from an individual angling excursion to setting up a corporate account can be arranged.

Here's what some of the folks who have fished with me had to say about their trips:

"I have been fishing for over 30 yrs and in 16 different countries. Thank you Pat for putting me onto the best steelhead fishing in my life!"

"What can I say, this has been one of my greatest fishing vacations. A real treat, I caught so many fish; salmon, steelhead and beautiful cutthroat trout."
