Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 21, 2025.

We're looking at a decent day on the water today. Sunrise was at 6:11 AM and sunset will be at 6:21 PM, giving us plenty of daylight. Weather-wise, we're expecting partly cloudy skies with highs around 52°F and light winds from the southwest. Tides are favorable, with a low of 1.5 feet at 10:23 AM and a high of 10.8 feet at 4:12 PM.

The big news is that Chinook season is just around the corner, opening up in Marine Areas 10 and 11 on April 2nd. Until then, we're still seeing some good action on resident coho and blackmouth. Anglers have been averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 6-9 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the mid-teens.

For lures, Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy or Outfitters' Choice colors have been producing well. Silver Horde Coho Killers and Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher are also solid choices. If you prefer bait, herring has been the ticket. Try jigging for your own if you can - fresh is always best.

Cutthroat trout fishing has been heating up in the south Sound. Anglers working the shorelines with small spoons or flies have been finding success, especially on incoming tides.

As for hot spots, Jeff Head has been consistently producing on the outgoing tide. The north side of Point No Point is worth a look on the incoming. For you shore anglers, try casting from the Edmonds pier or Redondo Beach - both have been good lately.

Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick, especially around Possession Bar and Useless Bay.

Remember, the limit is two salmon daily, only one of which can be a Chinook. Make sure to check the regs before you head out.

That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and see you on the water!
