Washington Hunting & Fishing

Washington packs an extraordinary range of country into one state, from the rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula to the high desert of the Columbia Basin and the alpine North Cascades. Hunting guides in Washington pursue Roosevelt elk in the wet west, Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer in the drier east, blacktail deer, black bear, and a small but coveted bighorn sheep and moose draw. The terrain demands real preparation and local knowledge.

Fishing charters in Washington are world class. Puget Sound and the Pacific coast produce salmon, halibut, and bottomfish, while the Columbia River and its tributaries host enormous salmon and steelhead runs and a trophy white sturgeon fishery. Eastern Washington reservoirs and the famous desert lakes hold trout, walleye, and bass. Few states offer this much saltwater, big-river, and desert-lake variety together.
