Sockeye and Chinook Salmon in One Day!
The first part of the day is dedicated to fishing for Sockeye salmon at the mouth of the Okanogan River. This is where you’ll want to be bright and early, as the best bite tends to be early in the morning. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of fish to go around, and it won’t take long before you’ve limited out with our experience Brewster Salmon fishing guides.
Once we have caught our fair share of Sockeye salmon, it’s time to load up the boat and hit the road. Our next destination is Well’s Dam or Chelan Falls, where will be fishing for Chinook salmon. These areas are known for their large Chinook salmon, and it’s not uncommon to catch a 30+ pound fish. But keep in mind, these areas tend to be crowded too, so having an experienced fishing guide at the helm makes all the difference.
Sockeye and Summer Salmon at Chelan Falls
Have you heard about the summer fishery at Chelan Falls/Wampum? It’s a dream come true for anglers! Here’s why: a decade ago, Chelan Falls Hatchery ramped up production to rebuild salmon stocks, specifically sockeye and summer salmon. Thanks to the sturdy fish populations, you can easily target keeper chinook in a concentrated area. Plus, the cold Chelan River waters keep them healthy and strong all season long. These summer kings put up a fight and weigh in from 12 to 20 lbs, making for delicious eating.
