Evergreen Coast
Fishing, Crabbing & Clamming

Take advantage of Pacific County’s fabulous fisheries, including the richest razor clam grounds in the Pacific Northwest and some of the region’s most-celebrated oystering, crabbing, and fishing. The Pacific Ocean, Columbia River, Willapa Bay, and surrounding tributaries make Washington’s southwestern corner a national fishing and foraging hot spot.

SALMON, ALBACORE & MORE

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Columbia River and Willapa Bay, the Long Beach Peninsula and Pacific County are home to some of the richest fisheries on the west coast. Chinook and CoHo salmon, albacore tuna, halibut, sturgeon and much more dwell just beneath the water’s surface.

Black Lake and Loomis Lake are stocked with trout, perch, and bass as well.
