White Salmon River Fishing Trips

The White Salmon River in Washington is a little-known secret fishing paradise with healthy runs of fall salmon and winter steelhead. Take a trip on one of our Columbia River Fishing Guides sleds up the river for a chance to target these wonderful species of fish.

White Salmon River Steelhead Fishing Trips

One of the main attractions for local anglers on the White Salmon River is the healthy steelhead runs that provide excellent steelhead fishing throughout the year. Summer steelhead enter the White Salmon in the early spring and run from May through June. The White Salmon also offers a larger winter run of steelhead that provides anglers with excellent opportunities for steelhead fishing beginning in December and running through March, but the late winter runs tend to be wild steelhead and are catch and release only.
