Puget Sound Fishing Report: Chinook Season Opens, Blackmouth and Trout Bites Strong
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 29, 2025.
We've got some decent tides today, with a low of 1.0 feet at 11:56 AM and a high of 11.0 feet at 5:44 PM. The weather's looking pretty typical for late March - partly cloudy with highs around 55°F and light winds. Sunrise was at 6:24 AM and sunset will be at 6:08 PM, so we've got plenty of daylight to work with.
The big news is that the Chinook season in Marine Areas 10 and 11 opens up in a few days on April 2nd. Until then, we're still seeing some decent action on resident coho and blackmouth. Anglers have been averaging 1-2 fish per trip, with most blackmouth in the 5-8 pound range. A few lucky folks have landed some in the teens.
For lures, folks have been having luck trolling with Gibbs Skinny G spoons in Bon Chovy color, as well as Silver Horde Coho Killers. Don't forget your Tomic plugs either - the 602 and 603 patterns in 4" size are always solid choices this time of year. For those of you who prefer artificials like me, try working some Ace Hi Flies behind a flasher.
As for bait, herring is always a good bet. The orange label has been the hot ticket lately. If you're jigging for your own, even better - fresh is always best. Anchovies and squid strips are good backups.
Hot spots to check out this week: Jeff Head has been producing well 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 - I've heard good things about both lately.
Don't forget your crab pots - the Dungeness have been thick lately. Just remember we're in a Wednesday-Saturday only season right now.
For you trout enthusiasts, the cutthroat action in Lake Sammamish has been excellent. Small spoons and Woolly Bugger flies have been doing the trick. A few anglers reported catching and releasing some hefty 16-18 inch cutties near Idylwood Park.
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!
