Listen Later

If you're planning to head out to fish in the Puget Sound around Seattle today, January 26, 2025, here's what you need to know.

First, let's look at the tides. For today, the high tide is at 4:37 AM with a height of 11.3 feet, and the low tide is at 9:38 AM with a height of 8.9 feet. Another high tide will be at 1:23 PM with a height of 10.1 feet, and the next low tide will be at 8:51 PM with a height of -1.1 feet.

The weather is expected to be typical for this time of year, with a mix of cloud and sun, and temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Sunrise is at 7:45 AM and sunset at 5:02 PM.

Fish activity has been moderate in the South Puget Sound. Recent reports indicate that sea-run cutthroat trout fishing has been improving, especially when using chum fry patterns and covering a lot of water. However, the catch rates for salmon species like Chinook, Coho, Chum, Pink, and Sockeye have been low. There were a few Chinook caught per angler at the Point Defiance Public Ramp, but overall numbers were low.

For the best results, focus on using fly patterns that mimic small crustaceans like sculpin, euphausiid, and krill. Small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae are also effective.

If you're looking for hot spots, consider the Point Defiance Public Ramp and the Luhr Beach Ramp in the South Puget Sound area. These locations have shown some activity, although it's been sporadic. Another good spot could be the Gig Harbor Ramp, which is also in the South Puget Sound area.

Remember to check the current fishing guidelines and quotas before you head out, as they can change frequently. Enjoy your day on the water
