Winter Steelhead on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula

Experience the beauty of the Pacific northwest and chase bright steelhead with the guides from Jack Mitchell’s, The Evening Hatch.

The Olympic Peninsula is some of the best fly fishing for these incredible sea going winter runs. There are a myriad of rivers on the Olympic Peninsula – The Hoh, Upper Queets, Upper Quinault, Clearwater, Humptulips, Wynoochee etc… These watersheds all originate from the foothills, glaciers and peaks of the Olympic Mountain range. The Evening Hatch is well versed in both single hand and double hand rod tactics for pursuing these hard fighting fish. They will cater to whatever technique suits you, and will work with you to create the perfect itinerary whether you want to fish a day or several in this amazing place.

Private Water:
The Upper Wynoochee River

The Upper Wynoochee flows through private timber land and some of it is accessible for the general public. However, they have secured a lease on the initial 17 miles of the river . This particular river offers a substantial population of big hatchery brood stock and SOME wild fish that will test your gear and your skills. The best of the best on the ‘Nooch’ is January – February so book early to experience this prime time!
