Steelhead
While Copalis Beach itself doesn't have major rivers, it serves as a coastal access point for anglers targeting steelhead returning to nearby river systems. The best time to intercept these migrating fish is during the winter months (December-February) when they enter the rivers to spawn. Focus your efforts on the lower reaches of rivers accessible from the coast, like the nearby Humptulips or Quinault River systems (check regulations for specific river openings). Anglers often use drift fishing techniques with bait or lures. Be prepared for challenging conditions, as winter steelhead fishing often involves high water and cold temperatures. Access to the rivers can vary, so research specific access points and boat launches along your chosen river. Remember to obtain a Washington State fishing license and steelhead endorsement before heading out.
