Looking for a solid day on the water with your crew? This 5-hour salmon fishing trip with Redemption Charters puts you and up to three buddies right where the fish are biting. For $700 total, you get a full half-day of fishing with seasoned guides who know these waters like the back of their hand. We're talking about targeting some serious fish here - from hard-fighting Chinook salmon to acrobatic Coho, plus rainbow trout, browns, and lake trout. No fancy frills, just good fishing with people who live and breathe this stuff every day.
When you step aboard with Redemption Charters, you're getting more than just a boat ride. Our captain and crew have been working these fishing grounds for years, and they know exactly where to find the fish based on water temp, weather patterns, and seasonal movements. The 5-hour window gives us plenty of time to hit multiple spots and adjust our approach based on what's working that day. You'll be fishing from a well-maintained charter boat equipped with all the essential gear, from rods and reels to tackle and bait. The boat's set up for comfort during those longer fights when you hook into a big Chinook, with plenty of room to move around and help each other land fish. Expect some friendly competition among your group - there's always bragging rights on the line when you're targeting trophy-sized salmon and trout.
We run a trolling operation here, which means we're constantly moving and covering water to locate active schools of fish. The boat's rigged with downriggers and planer boards to get our lures down to the right depth and spread them out for maximum coverage. Depending on conditions and target species, we might be running anything from spoons and plugs to cut bait rigs. The captain handles all the technical stuff - setting depths, monitoring fish finders, and reading the water - while you focus on the fun part: fighting fish. When a rod goes off, it's all hands on deck. The crew will coach you through the fight, especially if you hook into one of those 20-pound Chinook that can put up a battle for 10 minutes or more. We keep multiple lines in the water at different depths, so there's always action happening somewhere on the boat.
Here's what recent anglers are saying about their trips: "it was wonderful" - Serhii. "Never been on a charter before so I had no idea what to expect. The captain and his first mate made this experience well worth it and we caught our limit. I only wish we could have done catch and release but they said it just wasn't advised. I only wish that we were made aware of this prior to booking." - Shae'anna.
Rainbow Trout are some of the most beautiful fish you'll encounter on this trip. These guys typically run 2-6 pounds in these waters, with their signature pink stripe and spotted sides making them a favorite for photos. Rainbows are active year-round but really turn on during spring and fall when water temperatures are in that sweet spot. They're aggressive feeders and will hit everything from small spoons to larger plugs. What makes them special is their aerial displays - when hooked, they'll often jump multiple times, making for some exciting action that gets everyone on the boat cheering.
Coho Salmon, also called silvers, are the acrobats of the salmon family. These fish average 8-12 pounds and are known for their incredible jumping ability when hooked. They're most active during their spawning runs, typically late summer through fall, when they're packed with energy and aggression. Coho have bright silver sides with dark backs, and they're absolute rockets in the water. They prefer shallower water than Chinook, often found in the top 30 feet of the water column, making them perfect targets for our trolling setup.
Chinook Salmon are the kings of these waters, and for good reason. These fish can reach 30 pounds or more, providing the kind of arm-burning fights that create lifelong fishing memories. They're the largest Pacific salmon species and are known for their deep, powerful runs rather than jumping. Spring through early fall is prime time for Chinook, and they typically hold deeper than other species. The meat quality on these fish is outstanding - rich, fatty, and perfect for grilling or smoking. Landing a big King is often the highlight of any fishing trip.
Brown Trout are the crafty veterans of the lake, often the most challenging to catch but incredibly rewarding when you do. These fish can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes, with specimens over 10 pounds not uncommon. Browns are more selective feeders than rainbows, often requiring finesse and the right presentation to trigger strikes. They're most active during low-light periods and cooler water temperatures. Their golden-brown coloration with distinct spots makes them one of the most beautiful freshwater fish, and they're known for their strong, sustained fights.
Lake Trout are the deep-water specialists, often found in the coldest, deepest parts of the lake. These char can grow massive - 20-pound fish are possible, with some specimens reaching 30 pounds or more. They're typically caught deeper than other species, sometimes 60 feet down or more, which means we'll be running heavy tackle and using downriggers to get down to their level. Lakers have a unique appearance with their forked tail and pale spotting, and they're known for their strong, steady pulls rather than flashy runs. They're most active in spring and fall when they move into shallower water.
This 5-hour salmon fishing adventure offers serious value for groups looking to get on some quality fish without breaking the bank. At $700 for up to four people,
Tylosurus AcusBrown trout are the craftiest fish you'll encounter, averaging 8-24 inches but capable of reaching 39 inches in prime water. These golden-brown beauties with black spots prefer cool, clear water between 54-65°F and love hiding under overhanging banks, logs, and deep pools. They're primarily active at dawn and dusk, becoming almost nocturnal in pressured waters. Fall brings aggressive feeding as they prepare for spawning in headwater streams. What makes browns special is their wariness - they're the Ph.D. of the trout world, making them a true challenge even for experienced anglers. They can live up to 20 years, growing large and smart. The firm, mild flesh is excellent eating. Unlike other trout, browns will eat almost anything including mice, crayfish, and smaller trout. They're found in 45 states and thrive in both streams and lakes. My best advice: fish them at night in summer with streamers or crawfish patterns - these nocturnal hunters lose their caution after dark.
Oncorhynchus TshawytschaChinook salmon, the kings of the Pacific, are the largest salmon species running 12-39 inches and typically 15-30 pounds - some monsters hit 50+ pounds. These silver-sided bruisers with blue-green backs and black-spotted fins prefer deep, cold water and are light-sensitive, so they hug the bottom during bright days. Early morning and evening offer your best shots when they move up to feed. Spring through fall provides good action, but timing varies with runs. What draws anglers is their incredible size and bulldogging fight - no flashy jumps, just pure power that'll test your tackle. The rich, orange-pink meat is prized by restaurants worldwide. They're smart fish that require finesse despite their size. Kings like structure - drop-offs, underwater ledges, and current breaks. Here's the key: use weighted baits to get down to them, and when trolling, run your lures deeper than you think - these fish often hold 20-40 feet down even when feeding.
Oncorhynchus KisutchCoho salmon, or silvers, typically run 12-30 inches and weigh 8-12 pounds, though some push past 20 pounds. These acrobatic fighters can jump up to 6 feet when hooked, making them a real thrill to battle. You'll find them in calm areas under debris in rivers connected to the ocean, moving between fresh and salt water during their life cycle. Fall brings the best fishing as they head upstream to spawn, with their sides turning from bright silver to deep maroon. What makes cohos special is their aggressive nature and those spectacular jumps - they'll test your drag and your reflexes. The bright orange-red meat is outstanding on the table too. During their ocean phase, they feed heavily on baitfish like herring and squid. My go-to technique is swinging bright spinners in chartreuse or pink through the current - cohos can't resist that flash and movement when they're on the move.
Salvelinus NamaycushLake trout are the giants of deep, cold northern lakes, commonly running 24-36 inches and 15-40 pounds. These grey-green char with cream-colored spots live their entire lives in deep water, often suspended 40-100 feet down in the middle of lake basins. They need water temps below 65°F and high oxygen levels to survive. Spring right after ice-out is prime time when they move shallow, but summer means going deep with downriggers and heavy tackle. What hooks anglers is their incredible size potential - the record is 72 pounds from Great Bear Lake. They're slow-growing and long-lived, making each big fish special. The firm, light-colored meat is excellent smoked or grilled. Unlike other trout, these are primarily lake dwellers in oligotrophic waters of Canada, Great Lakes, and Alaska. Jigging is the go-to technique with spoons, jigs, and swimbaits that mimic wounded baitfish. Here's the trick: fish them on overcast days when they move up in the water column - they hate bright light and feed more actively in low-light conditions.
Oncorhynchus MykissRainbow trout average 8-24 inches and typically run 2-8 pounds, though bigger ones are out there. You'll find them in cool, clean streams and rivers where temps stay between 55-64°F. They love gravelly areas with good cover like overhanging vegetation or deeper pools. Spring through fall gives you the best action, especially during morning and evening feeding times. These fish are scrappy fighters with beautiful pink stripes along their silver sides, and they make excellent table fare with that mild, slightly nutty flavor. The black spots on their backs and fins make them easy to identify. Here's a tip that works well - keep your bait just off the bottom and let it drift naturally with the current. They're smart fish, so a natural presentation often makes the difference between getting a bite or going home empty-handed.

Never been on a charter before so I had no idea what to expect. The captain and his first mate made this experience well worth it ...
