are on a reservation. As a
visitor, always respect the
policies and rules of the
tribe. And while launching
and returning to the Big
Salmon marina, there is a
cleaning station to clean
your catch daily. Or pay
a couple bucks to have a
couple locals do it for you.
Fishing Neah Bay in June
is an adventure into one
of the richest marine
environments on the West
Coast. With stunning
scenery from the rugged
cliffs of Cape Flattery, the
westernmost point in the
contiguous United States,
to the pristine beaches and
rainforest nearby. Wildlife
is abundant, and so many
bald eagles share the water
with anglers.
The community itself is
small and welcoming, with
local lodging, camping,
and the Makah Cultural
and Research Center offers
a window into the rich
history of the Makah people
and the many years of
fishing. It's a place where
the Pacific reveals both its
bounty and its raw power.
A destination where every
trip feels like an expedition,
and every fish tells a story.
For those who are looking
to make the trek, expect
long days on the water, a
cooler of catches, and the
memories you reeled in
at Washington's Saltwater
Frontier.
