Fishing on the Chehalis River is picking up with warmer summer weather. Anglers are seeing action with smallmouth bass, cutthroat trout, and the occasional steelhead. Early mornings and late evenings have been the most productive, especially around shaded banks and slower-moving stretches of the river. Bass are hitting on soft plastics and crankbaits near structure, while trout are responding to spinners and small spoons. Water levels are stable, and clarity is good. Expect more consistent bites as we move deeper into summer.
Great day of catching Some open spots. Give a call 3607012444

Chuck was an awesome mentor. He told us about all of the tips necessary to have fun, gave us lots of advice on trolling, and got us involved with whatever we were doing. We're eager to take another trip with him!

I have fished with Chuck for over twenty years. And every time it feels like the first. A great outdoor experience. Thank you Chuck for a lifetime of memories.

Of course, I have been on six different fishing charters all across the North American continent: deep-sea fishing, sturgeon fishing, fly fishing, you name it. My brother and dad have more experience with fishing than I have, and now the three of us agree that Captain Chuck is this near-shore fishing guide's most knowledgeable, hilarious, encouraging, and passionate fishing partner. I'd rate him highly for anyone considering attending, and we're already talking about going again next year as well.

Chuck and his team really know how to catch fish - we had a great haul! But more than that, they really know how to have a good time. It was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great fishing trip!
