Salmon Fishing
Your Fishing Adventure of a Lifetime Starts Here!
Here in Rivers Inlet, the waters teem with some of the largest Coho and Chinook salmon in the world!
In fact, more 50 to 60 pound Chinook salmon are caught in this fjord-line inlet each year than in any other area of North America. Full of energy and fight, these salmon can battle for hours, over incredible distances.
The abundant Coho, often in excess of 20 pounds, migrate through our waters high in the water column, and are so aggressive, they are often caught a few feet behind the boat.
Imagine a 20-pound Coho striking your cut plug bait trolled 20 feet from your rod tip, then peeling 200 feet of line off your single action reel in seconds. This is Rivers Inlet excitement, and your Legacy Lodge experience at its best!
The fertile waters of Rivers Inlet offer a variety of bottom feeders, as Halibut, Yellow Eye and Lingcod are abundant all season.
