Best Fisheries in the Pacific Northwest

The waters just outside our front door are rich with a variety of fish, including steelhead, salmon, and trout. Fishing in Lake Quinault for trout is permitted during the summer months only. Fishing for salmon in the lake is NOT permitted but you are allowed to fish for salmon in the lower Quinault River. 

NOTE: Since this area of the Olympic Peninsula includes both U.S. Forest Service and Tribal lands, be sure to inquire about regulations and license requirements. To learn more, view this Quinault Indian Nation fishing & boating document.
