Fall Coho has been excellent!

The Coho are in the Sound! Mornings are most productive but afternoons can also produce. Should be strong action through mid October!

Everyone with a boat was chasing Hatchery Chinook Salmon the past few weeks! We had strong success most days and on other days we released some beautiful wild Chinook salmon. The fishery is managed on a quota which means at some point the state will close the retention of these prized Chinook salmon. We will still find them while fishing for Coho salmon, but they must be released. The fishing this year was extremely crowded as only one marine area was open at a time. Combat fishing but still a great time. The crowds will thin out but the catch and release fishing will remain strong

Pink salmon fishing has been excellent the past 4 weeks. The pinks have now moved on to the the rivers. Its now time for the return of the Coho salmon. Catch has been decent and should only improve with each incoming tide! These migrating fish are great eating salmon!
