Coho Salmon fishing has been great most days. We've had some really hot fishing the past week. It will slow down a bit as these fish start to think about the spawn but I expect good fishing through the first few weeks of October.

The puget sound hatchery chinook season ends on the 31st. The season started off slow and ended strong with the chinook coming a few weeks late this year. Looking forward to an excellent coho fishery in September and October!

Hatchery chinook is still going strong. Hopefully the bite remains strong the next few weeks. I think they were a bit late this year so hopefully that mean some good fishing in the next few weeks. We are starting to see some ocean coho in the net. Its early for coho as they normally get going strong in september. This is not a pink year so if you went last year for pinks they are not coming until next year!

Hatchery Chinook started off this year a little slow. In recent days the fishing has really picked up. Fish are averaging around 10-11 pounds which is smaller than normal but we have started to see some larger chinook. Fishing should remain decent for chinooks through august and then we change gears and focus on Coho salmon.

The resident coho salmon fishery has opened! The weather was cold and windy but the fishing was ok. Recently the weather has improved and so has the fishing! These smaller salmon are feisty and perfect size for the grill.

Lingcod fishing has been good for catching but many of the lings are outside the slot limit of between 26 and 36 inches. We have open days to catch these sea monsters through June. Flounder fishing has been fast action and a great trip for youngsters. Salmon kicks off in June with resident coho and then ocean chinook in July. Ocean coho get going end of August through mid-October or later in some years. Estimated returns look good for both chinook and coho for 2022
