  • Puget Sound Fishing Bonanza - Coho Salmon, Tides, and Hotspots for September 2024

    Puget Sound Fishing Bonanza - Coho Salmon, Tides, and Hotspots for September 2024
    Sep 26 2024
    As of September 26, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound and around Seattle is buzzing with activity, especially with the cooler weather setting in.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. The sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and the sunset will be at 6:47 PM. Tides are crucial for fishing here; today's high tide is at 9:15 AM, and the low tide is at 3:15 PM. These tidal shifts can significantly impact fish behavior and your chances of catching them.

    ### Fish Activity
    September is a prime month for fishing in Puget Sound, particularly for coho salmon. These feisty fall-run coho are thick in the Straits, Puget Sound, and coastal bays. Anglers have been reporting good catches of coho salmon in various rivers and bays, with many of these fish already moving into freshwater.

    ### Catch Reports
    From recent creel reports, it's clear that coho salmon are the main target. At ramps like the Kingston Public Ramp and the Armeni Public Ramp, anglers have been catching a decent number of coho, with some reports indicating up to 10 coho per day per angler.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For coho salmon, light tackle or fly fishing is highly effective. Small spinners, jigs, and flies are recommended, especially in areas with cutbanks or large woody debris where these fish tend to congregate. Hatchery coho can also be targeted using pink or orange lures, as these colors tend to attract them.

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Skagit and Snohomish rivers in the North Sound, which are now open for coho fishing. The Hoh and Humptulips rivers in southwest Washington are also excellent choices for both Chinook and coho. For a more urban experience, Whatcom Creek in downtown Bellingham is open for hatchery Chinook fishing on Saturdays and Sundays through September 15.

    ### Additional Tips
    Remember to check the fishing regulations and any special gear restrictions to protect wild Chinook and other species. The Fish Washington mobile app is a great resource for staying updated on these rules.

    With the right gear, knowledge of the tides, and a bit of luck, you should have a productive and enjoyable day fishing in Puget Sound. Happy fishing

  • "Autumn Angling in Puget Sound: Tips for a Successful Fishing Trip"

    "Autumn Angling in Puget Sound: Tips for a Successful Fishing Trip"
    Sep 24 2024
    As of September 24, 2024, the Puget Sound area around Seattle is inviting anglers to enjoy a pleasant autumn day on the water. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip:

    **Weather Conditions:**
    The temperature is expected to be around 58°F (14°C) with a gentle breeze of about 5 mph. There is a slight chance of light precipitation, so it's a good idea to pack a light rain jacket.

    **Water Conditions:**
    The water level in Puget Sound is at its normal tidal range, with water temperatures hovering around 55°F (13°C). The water clarity is good, making it an ideal day for spotting fish.

    **Best Fishing Spots:**
    For today, some of the best spots include the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area, Camano Island State Park Public Ramp in Admiralty Inlet, and the Arcadia Ramp in South Puget Sound. These areas have been reporting good catches of coho salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout.

    **Bait and Tackle Recommendations:**
    For coho salmon, use lures like spoons or spinners in shades of pink and silver. These fish are active in the upper water columns, so keep your lines at depths of around 10-20 feet. Local anglers recommend small to medium-sized spoons, such as the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or Blue Fox Vibrax, in silver or copper finishes. For sea-run cutthroat trout, small spinners, jigs, or flies like the Clouser Minnow or a simple streamer pattern work well.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Coho salmon are particularly active during the fall season, feeding on baitfish and krill. They tend to be more aggressive in the morning and late afternoon. Sea-run cutthroat trout become more active as the waters cool, making them a great target for light tackle or fly fishing.

    **Local Events and Regulations:**
    September is a busy month for outdoor activities in Washington. Be aware that the fall salmon fisheries are underway, and there may be specific catch limits and regulations in place. Check the latest guidelines and quotas on the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife website before you head out. For example, the Buoy 10 fishery recently allowed the keeping of Chinook salmon from September 12 through September 22, but such windows can close quickly based on quota limits.

    **Tips from Local Anglers:**
    Local guides suggest that the best times for fishing today are early morning and late afternoon when the fish are most active. Keep an eye on the tidal changes, as the high slack tide often brings excellent fishing opportunities.

    With the right gear, knowledge of the best spots, and an understanding of the fish activity, you're set for a successful and enjoyable day of fishing in Puget Sound. So grab your rods, reels, and tackle, and make the most of this crisp autumn morning.

  • Puget Sound's Perfect Autumn Fishing Adventure

    Puget Sound's Perfect Autumn Fishing Adventure
    Sep 23 2024
    As of September 23, 2024, the Puget Sound area around Seattle is experiencing a mild autumn morning, perfect for a day of fishing. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip:

    **Weather Conditions:**
    The temperature is expected to be around 58°F (14°C) with a gentle breeze of about 5 mph. There is a slight chance of light precipitation, so it's a good idea to pack a light rain jacket.

    **Water Conditions:**
    The water level in Puget Sound is at its normal tidal range, with water temperatures hovering around 55°F (13°C). The water clarity is good, making it an ideal day for spotting fish.

    **Best Fishing Spots:**
    For today, some of the best spots include the Shilshole Public Ramp in the Seattle-Bremerton area, Camano Island State Park Public Ramp in Admiralty Inlet, and the Cornet Bay Public Ramp in the East Juan de Fuca Strait. These areas have been reporting good catches of coho salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout.

    **Bait and Tackle:**
    For coho salmon, use lures like spoons or spinners in shades of pink and silver. These fish are active in the upper water columns, so keep your lines at depths of around 10-20 feet. For sea-run cutthroat trout, small spinners, jigs, or flies are highly effective. These fish are often found in pods under cutbanks or large woody debris.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Coho salmon are particularly active during the fall season, feeding on baitfish and krill. They tend to be more aggressive in the morning and late afternoon. Sea-run cutthroat trout become more active as the waters cool, making them a great target for light tackle or fly fishing.

    **Local Events and Regulations:**
    September is a busy month for outdoor activities in Washington. Be aware that the fall salmon fisheries are underway, and there may be specific catch limits and regulations in place. Check the latest guidelines and quotas on the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife website before you head out.

    **Tips from Local Anglers:**
    Local guides recommend fishing during the changing tides, as this often triggers feeding activity among the fish. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to catch coho salmon and sea-run cutthroat trout. Also, keep an eye out for schools of baitfish, as these often attract larger predators.

    **Best Times for Fishing:**
    Today, the best times for fishing will be during the early morning from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM and again in the late afternoon from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. These periods coincide with the changing tides and are likely to see increased fish activity.

    Enjoy your day on the water, and remember to respect local regulations and the environment to ensure sustainable fishing practices.
