Fishing Report Puget Sound: Coho Salmon, Sea-Run Cutthroat, and Promising Conditions
As of September 29, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound, particularly around Seattle, is quite promising. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
### Tidal Report
Today, the tides are relatively moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at about 4:30 PM. These tides should provide good conditions for both shore and boat fishing.
### Weather
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62°F and a low of 50°F. There is a slight chance of light rain, but it should not significantly impact your fishing trip.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset is at 6:47 PM, giving you ample daylight to enjoy your time on the water.
### Fish Activity
September is an excellent time for fishing in Puget Sound, especially for coho salmon. These fish are thick in the Straits and coastal bays, and they are starting to flood into freshwater rivers. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of coho salmon, particularly in areas like the Seattle-Bremerton area and around Tacoma-Vashon Island.
### Types and Amounts of Fish
Coho salmon are the main focus this time of year, with many anglers reporting catches in the range of 2-4 fish per angler. Pink salmon, although abundant earlier in the year, are less common now, but you might still catch a few. Sea-run cutthroat trout are also active, especially as the waters cool and they prepare for their winter spawning migration.
### Best Lures and Bait
For coho salmon, using light tackle with lures such as small spinners, jigs, or flies is highly effective. These fish are known to put up a great fight, so be prepared. For sea-run cutthroat, small spinners, jigs, or flies that mimic their natural prey are recommended.
### Hot Spots
- **Point Defiance Public Ramp**: Located in the Tacoma-Vashon Island area, this spot has seen consistent catches of coho salmon.
- **Armeni Public Ramp**: In the Seattle-Bremerton area, this ramp offers access to waters known for coho and occasional pink salmon.
- **Hood Canal**: While a bit further from Seattle, Hood Canal is excellent for sea-run cutthroat and coho salmon as the waters cool.
Remember to check the latest fishing regulations and any special rules or gear restrictions before you head out. Enjoy your fishing trip in the beautiful waters of Puget Sound
