Fishing in Olympic National Park

With over 3,000 miles of rivers and streams, hundreds of lakes and 73 miles of Pacific Coast, Olympic National Park has plenty of habitat for fish.

Opportunities for recreational fishing abound within the park.   The primary objectives of the fisheries management program at Olympic National Park are to preserve and restore native fishes and their habitats and provide recreational fishing opportunities for the enjoyment of park visitors.

Make sure to check the current fishing regulations, which are available in two parts.

Fish & Shellfish Regulations -- full color brochure, including map (updated every several years)

Coastal River Regulations -- (Pacific Coastal sections of the Dickey River, Hoh River & Quillayute River; updated annually)

 

Fishing in the Elwha Valley
Lake Mills is closed to fishing in preparation for the removal of Elwha and Glines Canyon dams.
