The ultimate guided one-on-one salmon fishing experience! Catch your own chinook salmon in the glacial waters next to our cafe. No gear required (all provided) and no fishing experience needed. Take home your cleaned (gilled and gutted) whole salmon, or you can ask for it to be filleted for you (extra charge applies). This is a family-friendly attraction - either catch a fish yourself or sit in our landscaped garden and watch the excitement. This is a big fish experience - no tiddlers here and expect them to put up a fight as you reel them in!

Thank you for giving my son to catch the first salmon fish. We are so glad to have that wonderful and joyful moment. Big thank you from Kim's family.
It was a great experience for my grandson
My husband had an amazing experience - our guide was amazing she explained everything and she went above and beyond when he caught his fish. She even took the time to explain everything and showing us the whole process in detail. We would recommend this experience fully. We will definitely be back to take our girls fishing there.
Caught a fish eventually. Tried different lures. Helpful and experienced guide. Time to catch fish in a friendly atmosphere
Our salmon fishing experience at High Country Salmon with Sarah Lee was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, Sarah Lee was professional, patient, and incredibly informative. She made sure we all felt comfortable, sharing her wealth of knowledge about salmon fishing in a way that was easy to understand and engaging.
We not only learned so much but also had a wonderful time as a family. The kids especially had an unforgettable experience—Sarah Lee’s friendly and approachable demeanor made them feel confident and included every step of the way. It was clear she loves what she does, and that enthusiasm made the experience even more special.
If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and family-friendly adventure, we can’t recommend High Country Salmon enough. Thank you, Sarah Lee, for making this such a memorable day!
