What to Expect on the Klickitat

The fishing on the Klickitat can be varied based on angler preference. The most effective strategy for hooking fish is allowing the guide to row the boat as though we are trout fishing, and fishing with strike indicators on the move while we travel downstream.

Anglers that prefer to spey fish or swing flies, no problem. Our guides are excellent and can put you in the right water with quality instruction and advice on presenting flies. The nature of the water flows lend itself best to using sink tip. Floating line hook-ups are fairly uncommon.

Certainly guests can mix these two disciplines during the day, just know that in order to be successful on spey gear it's very important that guests arrive with as much casting experience as possible. Practice in advance if possible, we don't want to see you squander optimal fishing time on your big trip. If you have any beginners joining your party, try to get them out on a guided trout fishing trip first if possible. It is extremely helpful for them to have some guide boat experience. They will thank you!
