Puget Sound Fishing Report Feb 2025: Squid, Salmon, and Cutthroat Trout Opportunities
Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for Puget Sound, Washington, as of February 7, 2025.
First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide calendar, today's tides in Puget Sound are as follows: 2:18 AM PST with a high of 9.78 ft, 6:19 AM PST with a low of 8.68 ft, 11:13 AM PST with a high of 10.60 ft, and 6:49 PM PST with a low of -0.68 ft[2]. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip around them.
The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 48°F and a low of 38°F, making it a relatively mild winter day for fishing.
If you're targeting squid, now is a great time. Migrating adult squid are still present in Puget Sound through February, and they are most active at night, attracted to lighted areas. Public piers such as Edmonds Fishing Pier and Les Davis Pier near Tacoma are excellent spots for squid jigging. Use inexpensive jigging equipment and take advantage of the incoming and high tides for the best results[1].
For those after salmon, while the peak salmon seasons are typically later in the year, there are still some opportunities. Recent reports from South Puget Sound indicate that anglers have been catching salmon, particularly around areas like Point Gibson and the Nisqually River mouth. Lures such as Gibbs Skinny G Bon Chovy and Gibbs #4 green glow spoon have been successful in these waters[5].
Sea-run Cutthroat Trout are another option and can be caught year-round in Puget Sound. They are particularly active in the south of the Sound during winter and spring. Fly fishing or conventional gear with medium-weight rods and 15 lb test line can be effective for these trout[4].
If you're looking for hot spots, I highly recommend Deception Pass on the north end of Whidbey Island. This area is known for its high concentration of salmon and other species due to its unique underwater geography. Another great spot is the Tacoma Narrows, where the strong currents and bait fish attract a lot of salmon, especially between Point Evans and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge[4].
For bait, herring is always a good choice for salmon and other species. When it comes to lures, the aforementioned Gibbs lures have proven successful, along with casting jigs or float fishing.
In summary, today's fishing in Puget Sound looks promising, especially for squid and sea-run Cutthroat Trout. Plan your trip around the tides, and don't hesitate to try out some of the recommended hot spots and lures. Tight lines, everyone
