Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for March 26, 2025.
We've got a high tide of 11 feet at 4:11 AM, followed by a low of 5.7 feet at 10:00 AM. Another high of 9.6 feet rolls in at 3:02 PM, with a final low of 0 feet at 9:38 PM. Sunrise is at 6:59 AM and sunset at 7:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with.
Weather's looking decent today - partly cloudy with highs around 60°F and light winds. Perfect conditions to get out on the water!
Fishing's been picking up lately as we transition into spring. Resident coho are starting to show up in greater numbers, with some nice catches reported off the beaches. A few lucky anglers have even hooked into some early spring chinook. Sea-run cutthroat action has been solid as well.
For lures, I'm loving the Silver Horde Kingfisher spoons in 3.5" and 4" sizes. The Herring Aid and Cookies n' Cream patterns have been hot. Ace Hi flies behind a flasher are another great option - try the green splatter back or purple haze colors. If you're fishing bait, herring or anchovies rigged in a helmet are tough to beat.
Some productive spots to check out: the waters off West Point Lighthouse, the shipping lanes near Edmonds, and along the shoreline from Alki to Lincoln Park. The artificial reef off Seacrest Park has been holding good numbers of fish too.
Remember, we're still under selective gear rules for salmon, so single-point barbless hooks only. The daily limit is one chinook between 22-30 inches in most areas.
That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines!
