Rivers Inlet Fishing
King Salmon Resort is a self-guided salmon fishing resort where guests fish two to a boat. Our expert Fishmaster is always on the water, ensuring that you have enough bait, fishing gear and know-how to bring in your dream King salmon as well as have a safe and enjoyable fishing experience. They are always within radio distance ready to give you pointers on salmon fishing hot spots, techniques or help you net that beautiful salmon that you’ve been playing for over an hour.
Boats and gear
King Salmon Resort has custom-made 17’ Hourstons with partial convertible canopies, providing a stable, comfortable King salmon fishing platform for any kind of weather. Powered by 4-stroke 50 hp motors, these boats let you cruise the inlet and chase that trophy King salmon as it steals your line and busts your knuckles. Each boat is also equipped with an Eagle Fisheasy 2 Sounder and Icom 402s VHF radio.
Boats are only one part of the equation, rods and reels are the other. Guests fish with 10½’ Shimano Convergence rods, TR 2000 GT single-action reels with Triple Fish 25 lb. test line, Maxima leaders and 5/0 Eagle Claw Laser Sharp hooks. For those wanting to target halibut, King Salmon Resort has 6’ Berkely Roughneck rods and Penn 330 GTI reels.
Stacking the odds in your favour
Each King salmon fishing trip begins with an orientation by the resort Fishmaster, providing information about weather conditions, salmon fishing hot spots and general resort information. The Fishamster will also run through a boat orientation before going through the tips and techniques specific to Rivers Inlet fishing.
