    Tuna trip cancelled. Need a fun fishing back up plan 3rd week in september

    Was supposed to fish down in Washington with a group of 4 towards the end of sept. but looks like its not going to happen. I am not used to fishing this late since its hunting season but we want to put a trip together since half the guys don't hunt so i need a back up plan. were from the Okanagan. Was thinking maybe 100 mile area for lakers/ Kokanee and rent a cabin. Maybe charter a river boat for sturgeon/coho on the Frasier. Anyone got any good ideas for that time of year? I am all ears.

    little early for coho on fraser some will be there but might not be open..
    take a guided trip on kinabasket.
    bring your gun incase you see a elk.
    you will see whitetail and catch big fish.

    We have our own big boat. where would you suggest we try as a base/starting point? Elk on the side is very interesting.

    Fall walleye fishing on the Columbia can be very fun.

    How has that fishery been lately? that sounds fun as well. I used to do a lot of walleye fishing and miss it. Maybe spend a day on the river and a day on south arrow?
