Paying attention to the helm
and giving other boats some
space will help avoid flared
tempers. If you’d rather
not deal with the potential
stress, there are dozens of
guides that you can book
to fish the Brewster pool.
You can kick back and enjoy
the beautiful scenery, and
come home with a cooler
full of filets. Speaking of
coolers, they are a musthave- both for cold drinks
and for keeping fish. You’ll
want to bleed and ice your
fish ASAP for the best meat
quality. Lastly, get to the boat
ramp early and bring a good
book. The boat ramp can
get very crowded, especially
when the sockeye are in. It’s
a good idea to use the time
spent waiting to prep your

boat. This is another instance
when having patience and a
level head will help you out.
If you’d rather not spend
an hour or two waiting
to launch, again, hiring a
guide might not be a bad
idea. Some of them actually
launch the night before,
anchor up, and sleep on the
boat before they pick you up.
Once you’re done fishing
for the day, head into the
town of Brewster for lunch.
There are several excellent
restaurants, and downtown
Brewster is worth exploring
for the afternoon. It’s a great
way to cap off your day of
sockeye and chinook fishing!
Fishing the Brewster pool is
an unforgettable experience.
Head out there and have fun!
