Redwood Sport-fishing Charters provides five-hour morning and evening charters for Pacific Salmon (King, Pink, Coho) and Atlantic Salmon. The season for Pacific salmon begins in late July with the Kings first showing up and then the Pinks in mid to late August and continues with the late Cohos through the end of September.

The Atlantic salmon season starts mid-June and lasts usually four to five weeks depending on the feed. This is a highly prized fish and is limited to one per person on a regular license. We also offer special excursions for inland brook/speckled trout that can be caught by either spin cast or on a fly rod. This trophy lake is exclusive to Redwood Sportfishing Charters, and is a conservation lake, with some of the small fish taken for shore lunches only. The Brookie season is May to September.
