FishingBooker, America’s largest website for booking fishing charters, announced Olympia as one of the best 4th of July fishing destinations. There aren’t many things that go together as well as Independence Day and fishing. We crafted this list for those who want to go outdoors, celebrate the nation’s birthday and catch some great fish. Without any further ado, let’s see which places made the list and why Olympia is one of them!
Olympia may be the capital of Washington State, but that doesn’t mean that it lost its small-town charm. And, we’re pretty sure that you won’t be bored here. Starting right from the local airport, the Olympic Flight Museum is the perfect place to learn more about America’s military history. The Washington State Capitol Building is a great place to explore. The beauty of North America’s tallest masonry dome is awe-inspiring. The biggest 4th of July fireworks celebration in the area will take place in the nearby town of Tumwater.
And what about fishing? The Puget Sound is known for its year-round salmon fishing. July marks the start of chinook salmon season, so your 4th of July visit is the perfect time to catch the King. Besides salmon, you can also catch flounder and native cutthroat trout. There are countless creeks, rivers, ponds and estuaries to explore, as well as a number of fishing techniques to try out.
This is the full list of best 4th of July fishing destinations:
- Huntington Beach, California
- Ocean City, Maryland
- Morehead City, North Carolina
- Olympia, Washington
- South Padre Island, Texas
