What anglers said about fishing in Lake Washington

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!

Dress for colder damp weather. Other than that, expect to have a great time.

Good time to be fishing. Remember that itโ€™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.

Go for it and do it even if you end up not catching anything. Being out on the boat is such an enjoyable time you get to see all sorts of sea life and I even got to see the Seattle skyline with mt Rainer in the background

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 donโ€™t when it gets choppy you will get sprayed and even in July itโ€™s in the 50โ€™s during the early morning and can get cold if youโ€™re soaked.

Make sure to research what fish are in season in which areas. Washington has a ton of rules that you should have a general familiarization with before fishing here.

Listen to the guy whoโ€™s been doing it for ages. Donโ€™t assume you know everything. Be willing to learn new techniques. Youโ€™ll catch them.

Be prepared for different weather conditions. It can be very chilly in the morning out on the water, but can get quite warm in the afternoon.

Check regulations on limits. Two fish is the limit. Assess whether a shorter trip than six hours is appropriate: we booked six hours, however only fished three because we had reached our limit, and the Guide was hesitant to continue catching and releasing, even though the hooks were barbless. as a guide myself, I totally understand this stance. Overall great trip.

The salmon moved around and so did we. The captain put us on top of bait balls. We caught our limit of coho within 1.5 hours. We did 1 more hour of C n R. We went on to fishing for flounder. The action was continuous.

Could just be the season but there was a ton of bait fish but also almost an infestation of dog sharks who would grab your bait before most salmon had a chance.
