Despite being not the best time of year or day, we hooked about 15 fish, got four salmon in the boat, and even caught and kept one delicious coho salmon! The boat is a marvel. Great tech, comfortable, and even has a bathroom. It is a smaller boat, our party of six was pretty close when we were all outside the cabin. But that is exactly what we were looking for as part of our family reunion. A.J. kept things moving with 2-3 poles in the water at all times. He was extremely knowledgeable about the boat, sound, and fish. I expect his father, the other captain, is almost as good! Highly recommended!!

My fishing skills are non-existent so I can use all the help I can get. We left a little before 10 am during the peak pink salmon season. The boat is super comfortable. It's equipped with a bathroom, which is a must for anything longer than a couple hours. The cabin is heated and they even had water available for us. Captain Dale and his son were super kind and patient in explaining everything to the two curious kids in our group. The fishing started out pretty quiet, but a nearby charter shared some info about a hot spot, to which we quickly went to. Within thirty minutes, we all had our limits. It was so much fun to see the kids catching their first ever salmon. As we headed back to the marina, Dale's son was amazing and obliged the kids' wish to do some fast boat driving. Dale even cleaned and filleted our fish for us. This charter was so worth it! I would definitely book again for next salmon season!

They wind around the backside of the park, intermittently bending to kiss the lake before moving on. Mornings are lovely here. It's so peaceful to listen to the wind rustling the cottonwoods and the birds singing. The people you pass are always quick with a smile and a wave. There's good community feel. I really enjoy it here.

It's an easy drop into the water and you're off to explore the cute lake. The lake has a little island in the center and lots of things on the side to look at, so this makes a great spot for paddling around. There were a lot of people fishing so it must be a good fishing spot too.

These guys are the nicest bunch of fly fishing nerds you'll ever meet who deliver too notch customer service. They are curious and passionate about what they do and want to share the best of what they know. I was in there the other day to buy some flies that I didn't have time to tie and materials for making a sand lance pattern. Jake (? Andy? I suck at names...) was so helpful and knowledgeable helping me find what I needed. He brought to bear what insects he knew were active where I was going to fish, as well as the nuances of sand lance colors, so I could make the best choices in tying materials and how to tie the pattern. We even geeked out talking about my using feathers from my hens for tying materials. What fun! Hats off to shop owner, Ryan Smith, and Team Avid. Every time I've gone to shop there, I've been blown-away pleased at the kindness, generosity, knowledge, humor, sincerity, and patience of the people working there. No machismo. Just real people.

Knew your name and asked if you have any plans besides the honey do list for the weekend? Walking through the door at Teds is just like that! Step back into 1965......again! Keep an eye out for Floyd, Andy or Gomer. The first thing you notice is the store is packed to the gills (appropriate right?) with fishing tackle, bait, rods, reels, nets, paddles, crab traps, bows, sling shots and.............. you get the picture. Ted's sport Center has in stock somewhere whatever you came in to buy! Friendly advice is also offered if you ask them what fishery is producing and what depth with which lure or bait is working to catch them too. They will also keep you legal with what catch is in season and whats not, plus sell you the license or tag to keep you safe from the long arm of the law!

I believe there was street parking farther away, but we didn't look. TJ and Sophia were great hosts to us. Sophia was very knowledgeable and so willing to answer any questions we had. On the tour, we saw a grey whale from a ways a way. Orcas were being scarce today but we traveled near Seattle and pungent sound. They really went the extra mile to make sure we were able to see orcas as this was not close by. The pod had a NEW BABY! Such an exciting experience. Not only that, they were also having fun socializing and slapping their tails. Then we saw some glorious breaching. It was honestly such a great experience. We were in awe!

I don't know why, but I have always been scared crossing the bridge over the railroad tracks on the way from the parking lot to the beach. I have no fear of heights, and in fact I feel much more peaceful in the air or on the water than I do on the earth. The bridge is sturdy and safe, with tall, secure fencing on both sides. Little kids were crossing it today with no fear at all. One little kid was getting pulled across it in a large wagon. That was pretty cute to see. It is a bit of a trek from the parking lot to the beach area, a trek that includes this perfectly safe bridge which I somehow mysteriously feel scared while walking on. I recently injured my right heel playing tennis, so I was limping and hobbling and walking quite slowly, but this walk was still quite doable for me today. There were a lot of people at this beach park today, but it really didn't feel crowded, and everyone we talked to was friendly. The only slight bummer was that one of the reasons that we went out there today was to talk with a Naturalist from the Seattle Aquarium. We talked with 3 different Naturalists. They were all friendly enough, but all 3 of them seemed noticeably unenthusiastic about talking about the sea life at this beach park. Oh well, we moved on pretty quickly from that, and we really enjoyed this beach park anyway. There were a few people flying kites, and the mountains looked clear and bright behind the sunlit water. I waded in the water (one of my favorite things to do in life), and the cold waves breaking over my legs and feet felt wonderful on a hot day like today. 5 stars for sure. This place is so beautiful.

Waited for his respond that was coming later that day. In the evening I text that I was on the way to the birthday party and wanted to know what of the 3 days we could fish!!! Folks it's NOW OCT 13th the party is over the month ended and the fish are gone but I'm still waiting for a call back. So what is the point of this review ?
