Whether you're chasing your first rainbow trout or trying to land a trophy chinook salmon, this intimate two-person trip gives you the perfect setup to focus on what matters most – getting fish in the boat.

Lake Hattie Reservoir delivers the kind of fishing experience that keeps you talking about it long after you've cleaned your catch. This isn't your typical crowded fishing spot – you'll have room to work the water properly without bumping into other boats every five minutes. The reservoir sits at just the right elevation to support healthy populations of both salmon and trout, and the water clarity here makes it a joy to fish whether you're working the shallows or dropping lines in deeper structure. Your guide knows exactly where the fish are holding based on the season, weather patterns, and recent activity, so you won't waste time guessing where to wet your line. The boat comes fully rigged with quality gear, so even if you're traveling light or don't own your own setup, you'll have everything needed to land fish. Plus, having snacks and drinks on board means you can stay focused on fishing instead of worrying about packing a cooler.
The beauty of this trip lies in the variety of techniques that work well on Lake Hattie. Depending on conditions and what the fish are doing, you might find yourself trolling with downriggers in the deeper sections, casting spinners near inlet areas, or working the drop-offs with bait rigs. The provided tackle selection covers all the bases – from light spinning gear perfect for trout to heavier setups that can handle the power of a big chinook. Your guide will match the technique to both the conditions and your skill level, so beginners get plenty of coaching while experienced anglers can dive into more advanced presentations. The reservoir's structure includes submerged timber, rocky points, and weed beds that hold fish throughout the season. Learning to read these features and adjust your approach accordingly is part of what makes each trip a learning experience, even for seasoned fishermen.
Chinook salmon are the heavyweight champions of Lake Hattie, and hooking into one will test both your skill and your drag system. These powerful fish typically run anywhere from 8 to 20 pounds, with some true giants pushing even bigger numbers. Spring and early summer offer the best opportunities as these salmon cruise the deeper water looking for baitfish. What makes chinook fishing so addictive is their fighting ability – they'll make long runs, jump, and use every ounce of their strength to throw the hook. The satisfaction of landing one after a hard fight is something every angler should experience. These fish are also excellent table fare, making them a favorite target for anglers who appreciate both the sport and the reward of a fresh fish dinner.
Rainbow trout in Lake Hattie are known for their bright colors and acrobatic fights that keep you on your toes from the first strike to the net. Most rainbows here range from 12 to 18 inches, with plenty of chunky fish that pack serious punch for their size. They're active throughout the fishing season, but spring and fall tend to produce the most consistent action as they move into shallower water to feed. What trout anglers love about these fish is their willingness to hit a variety of presentations – they'll smash a well-presented spinner, sip a delicate fly, or crush a chunk of bait fished near structure. Their pink meat is prized by many anglers, and their feisty nature means every hookup brings excitement to the boat.

Oncorhynchus TshawytschaKing salmon are the heavyweights here at Lake Hattie, running 12-30+ pounds with that distinctive silver body and black-spotted fins. These fish love the deeper, cooler waters of the reservoir, especially during summer months when surface temps climb. They're light-sensitive, so your best shots come early morning or evening when they move up from the bottom. What makes them special? That legendary fight - kings are powerful, stubborn fighters that'll test your drag system. Plus, their orange-pink meat is top-shelf table fare. Since they stick deep, we'll get you set up with downriggers and weighted tackle. Pro tip: when trolling, vary your speed every few minutes - that speed change often triggers strikes from followers.
Oncorhynchus MykissRainbows are Lake Hattie's bread and butter, typically running 14-20 inches with those classic pink stripes and spotted backs. They cruise the mid-depths during warmer months but move shallow in spring and fall when water temps hit that sweet spot around 60°F. These fish are scrappy fighters - they'll jump, run, and give you a real workout on light tackle. The meat is excellent too, with that firm pink flesh everyone loves. You'll find them near structure like submerged rocks and drop-offs where they ambush insects and small baitfish. Here's a local trick: when the wind picks up and creates a chop, work the windward shore - that's when rainbows get aggressive and feed actively in the stirred-up water.
