The Hanford Reach is one of the best fall King Salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest. This free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River runs through Eastern Washington just upriver from the Tri-Cities and is home to a huge return of fall Chinook salmon every year.
From mid-September through October, we target these hard-fighting Upriver Brights throughout the Hanford Reach, including the Vernita Bridge and Ringold areas.
Fishing the Reach changes throughout the season. River flows, water temperature and fish movement can all affect where and how we fish. Knowing when to move, where fish are holding and how to adjust to changing conditions is a big part of consistently putting our customers on salmon.
Plughoff Outfitters has spent years fishing the Columbia River and Hanford Reach, and this is one of our favorite fisheries of the year.
Why Fish the Hanford Reach for Fall Chinook?
The Hanford Reach of the Columbia River is one of Washington’s best destinations for fall Chinook salmon fishing. Every fall, thousands of powerful Upriver Brights return through the Tri-Cities on their way to spawning grounds in the free-flowing Hanford Reach.
September and October offer some of the most exciting salmon fishing of the year. These fish are known for their size, strength and quality, giving anglers a chance at some of the biggest King Salmon the Columbia River has to offer.
Plughoff Outfitters fishes the Hanford Reach throughout the fall season, targeting Chinook from the Pasco and Tri-Cities area upstream through some of the Reach’s most productive salmon water.
Whether you're an experienced salmon fisherman or it's your first time fishing the Columbia River, our guided trips are set up to make the day easy. We provide the boat, quality fishing gear and tackle, and years of experience fishing the Hanford Reach — you just need to show up ready to fish.
