Fishing in Washington

What if we tell you that there’s an outdoor paradise waiting to be discovered? Washington State isn’t only blessed with thick evergreen forests, but with acres of pristine waters and fishing opportunities as well. With thousands of lakes, miles of rivers, and ocean access this ‘’Evergreen State’’ is truly an angler’s heaven. And Washington State fishing charters are among the best guides to show you around.

The State of Washington is one of just two places on the continent where you can catch all five species of Pacific Salmon – Chinook, Coho, Pink, Sockeye, and Chum! The saltwater scene might not be as expansive as the freshwater, but it’s certainly as productive with Albacore Tuna as its crown jewel. While summer and fall are more promising, Washington State is a year-round angling playground.

Whether you’re exploring Puget Sound, the coastal region, or the southwest area, Washington fishing charters will showcase everything the Pacific Northwest is known for. But for you to be able to enjoy the day in nature and go after your dream catch, a half day trip won’t do. The sweet spot is an 8 hour trip! For Albacore Tuna, we recommend longer offshore outings.

The productive waters in the western part of the state attract upwards of 100,000 anglers annually. If you’re unsure why this is the case, team up with a local guide and begin exploring Puget Sound. Once you’re ready for the next level of fishing, head to Westport for the Tuna adrenaline rush or check out any of the lakes during winter to experience ice fishing.

Rules & Regulations

Washington State welcomes anglers aged 15 and older from all over the world as long as they have a fishing license. Youths aged 14 and younger don’t need a fishing license but a Catch Record Card is a must. Veterans and residents with disabilities qualify for reduced fees. Don’t shy away from exploring Washington State’s fishing rules and regulations in more detail before heading out.

Washington Fishing Seasons

January

When a new year gets going, most anglers will be busy going after Blackmouth Salmon to notice. Join them and see for yourself what the fuss is about.

February

Come February, Puget Sound is swarming with Blackmouth Salmon and Cutthroat Trout. Anglers in places like Seattle and Tacoma will be all over the piers catching Squid.

March

Winter might be over and done with, but the Chinook bite is still going strong. Out in the jetties, get ready for some awesome Lingcod fishing.

April

April is when the winter Chinook fishing dies down, and the harvest season draws to a close. On the bright side, the time for spring Salmon is upon us.

May

If you’re up for some bottom fishing, there’s hardly a better time to get started. With Rockfish, Lingcod, and Flounder, what else do you need?

June

Did somebody say Summer Steelhead? Head on down to the Columbia River and fish your heart out. In Seattle, Lingcod season is about to end in a week or two into June.

July

Anglers in Puget Sound are getting ready for the up and coming Salmon season there, while Westport is in the middle of the traditional Albacore summer rush.

August

There’s not a bad place to go fishing in Washington during August. Saltwater or freshwater, rivers or lakes, conventional or fly, feel free to run with it.

September

The wonderful variety of fishing all over Washington continues to enthrall anglers all over, especially over at Puget Sound. It’s Salmon fishing season at its absolute finest.

October

October usually marks the end of lake fishing, with anglers switching to rivers if they haven’t already. The winter Steelhead run is just around the corner.

November

Blackmouth Salmon is the star attraction in Puget Sound this time of year. At the same time, anglers from all over are going crazy about winter Steelhead.

December

Sturgeon and Steelhead rule the river waters in December. Not that anybody’s complaining. There’s nothing quite like fishing to keep you warm during the cold days.

Dress in layered clothes if you go out early as the weather can warm up quickly during the summer. Matt is an easy going and very knowledgeable captain. We have been out on four trips with him in just over a year and we always have great time.

I wished to catch more of a variety, but you can't control Mother Nature, lol. The boating, company and views in Seattle was better than fishing in my part of the Gulf, that's for sure!

The month of October is a good time to catch fish however from week to week and even day to day is dependent on weather and the fish themselves. If you're not catching then at least take away the lessons and learning more from an experience guide, day to day fisherman. That'll make you better. I'm an experienced fisherman and I even walked away with something new the guide showed me on filleting the fish.

Good time to be fishing. Remember that it’s fishing, so you might be on the dock wit a full limit on one trip or fish for 6 hours and catch one small salmon, even with a guide. Both of these have happened to me. Good guides make more fish more likely.

Make sure you bring a good rain coat. Even in the dry season there is a good chance you might get a little rain, and even if you don’t when it gets choppy you will get sprayed and even in July it’s in the 50’s during the early morning and can get cold if you’re soaked.
