| WELCOME |
| Welcome to the Angler's Guide Service Web Site. We are based out of Forks, Washington - "The Steelhead Capitol of the World" and we're here to offer you the fishing adventure of a lifetime. Owned and operated by Robert Kratzer, a veteran guide with over a decade of experience, Angler's Guide Service has added a team of 4 of the state's best guides to cover the most productive rivers in Washington State. Of course we fish the Olympic Peninsula rivers that have become synonymous with the words Steelhead and Salmon, including the Hoh, Sol Duc, Bogachiel, Calawah, Queets and Quilayute. But, we also guide on South Western Washington rivers, including the world famous Cowlitz, the Lewis, Columbia, Humptulips, Chehalis, Satsop, and Wynoochie. And, closer to Seattle, we guide on Puget Sound area rivers including the scenic and magestic Skagit River, the Sauk, Skykomish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Green, Stillaguamish and yes, even the Yakima river! As you will see, we have formed one of the largest guide services in the state to offer you, the angler, the very best fishing the Northwest has to offer. So, whether you're in search of trophy Steelhead, giant Chinook Salmon, acrobatic Silver Salmon, Chum, Pink, or Sockeye Salmon, or even want to try your hand at trophy-sized Dolly Varden and Rainbow Trout, Angler's Guide Service will put you where the fish are. Angler's Guide Service also owns and operates a remote sport fishing facility on the banks of the Nushagak River called "Alaska Kingfishers". Set in the heart of Bristol Bay, "Alaska Kingfishers" targets Alaska's most prolific run of King Salmon as well as huge runs of chrome-bright Chum Salmon and Sockeye Salmon. Please visit our Alaska Kingfishers web-site at www.alaskakingfishers.com for all your up to date Alaska information. Enjoy the very best fishing has to offer on our many pages and once again, welcome. |
| FISHING SUMMARY |
| It's Summer Steelhead and Spring Chinook Time. As the new leaves are popping out on the trees the Summer Steelhead and the Spring Chinook are making the way in to the rivers. The Cowlitz has been good for both Summer runs and Chinook from I-5 all the way up to the Barrier Dam. What a great time to fish for these great chrome fighters. The summer runs will be picking up speed in the weeks to come. The lewis River has seen a depressed Spring Chinook Run this spring leading to it's closure. On the bright side the summer runs are showing up in good numbers and getting better each day. When you are catching summer steelhead into the teens that are hard to handle on a light spining rod then you tend to forget about spring chinook anyways. The Sol Duc River is seeing a average Spring Chinook run with 2 to 4 hookups a day. The presure has been low and the fish have big this year with several in the 30 pound class. The Hoh river Spring Chinook opener is on the 16th of May and looks to be a good one with very good water conditions adn there should be plenty of hungrey springers just ready to be caught by you. Wheather you want to catch a Spring Chinook or a summer steelhead now is the time to get in on some great weather and some awesome fishing. Book your trip now to get in on some of this great fishing. See you on the water. |
