Salmon Fishing Guide, Casey Weigel, is helping you put these quality fish on
your table.

The History of Salmon Fishing in the Pacific NW goes back to the time
when the early Native Americans used Cedar Canoes and nets woven out of
Cedar Bark to catch the returning Wild Salmon and Steelhead Trout.

Today there are many species of Native Salmon which return each year to the
Pacific NW Rivers to Spawn.  These species include Chinook, Chum, Coho,
Pink and Sockeye Salmon.  

We fish for the Chinook Salmon on Lewis, Kalama, Columbia, Humptulips,
Chehalis and Satsop Rivers.  The latin name for the Chinook is Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha, and other common names for this fish include:  Black Salmon,
Blackmouth, Chub Salmon, Columbia River Salmon, Hook Bill Salmon, King
Salmon, Quinnat Salmon, Spring Salmon and Winter Salmon.  Chinook
Salmon are found all along the Pacific Coast from California all the way up to
Alaska.  They spend an average of 3-4 years in the ocean before returing to
spawn in the fresh waters of their birth.  They average anywhere from 10-50
pounds.  

We fish for Coho Salmon on the Columbia, Chehalis, Humptulips and Satsop
Rivers.  The latin name for Coho Salmon is, Oncorhynchus kisutch.  Coho
Salmon are also commonly referred to as Silvers or Silver Salmon.  Coho
Salmon are considered one of the best game fish in the Pacific NW.  We
always use light tackle when fishing for these salmon which average 7-11
pounds.
