Fishing trips

A fishing trip with Nohana is a seat on a licensed captain's boat. You don't need to fill the boat or bring a crew. Book the seats you need and fish with the other guests on board.

Where and what you can fish

• Puget Sound, from Shilshole Bay Marina. Saltwater trips, mostly for salmon, in the seasons the state sets.
• Lake Washington. Freshwater trips for trout, bass and perch, depending on the season.

What you can catch and keep changes through the year. Your captain plans each trip around the current rules.

Your fishing license

In Washington, anyone 15 or older needs a fishing license. For salmon you also need a catch record card. Buy them from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife before your trip, and check the current rules there too.

Before you book

• Gear. Each listing says what's on board, like rods, tackle and bait.
• Time on the water. Fishing trips tend to be longer than wake sports trips. The listing shows how long each trip runs.
• Your catch. Ask your captain about cleaning and taking home your fish when you message them after booking.

What to bring

• Warm layers and a rain jacket, especially on the Sound
• Shoes with a good grip
• Water and food for a longer trip, unless the listing says they're included
• Your fishing license
