FISHING AROUND
FISHING AROUND The Gig Harbor area is one of the best sought-after fishing spots in Puget Sound, thanks to its access to many water bodies and the variety of fish species. Fishing happens here almost all year round. Cutthroat trout is in abundance, as is salmon if you know where to look. Popular spots include Kopachuck State Park, the Olalla beach, Purdy Sand Spit, Minter Creek Hatchery and Bay Lake. And if you get tired of the local lakes and beaches, Gig Harbor-based guides will gladly swoop you away to one of region’s hot spots or major rivers and lakes. They’ll even outfit you with whatever you need, whether it’s gear or a water craft, and throw in some tips for best fishing.

If you’re feeling a little rusty, you can always start with a class. The Gig Harbor Fly Shop offers them year-round, with winter classes focused on skills like flytying and the summer ones complete with practice on local beaches. The shop is also your stop for any gear you need, including rentals of sturdy kayaks that are perfect for fishing. SAMANTH A
