  • Puget Sound Fishing Report: Tides and Temps Set Up Ideal Conditions for Salmon, Lingcod, and Trout

    Puget Sound Fishing Report: Tides and Temps Set Up Ideal Conditions for Salmon, Lingcod, and Trout
    May 17 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for Saturday, May 17, 2025. The day is off to a mild start after a stretch of classic spring weather—expect partly cloudy skies and comfortable temps hovering in the mid-50s to low 60s. Sunrise came at 5:24 a.m. and sunset will be around 8:44 p.m., giving us plenty of daylight to hit the water.

    Tides are especially key right now. There’s a mid-morning incoming tide peaking just before noon, which should set up ideal conditions for shore and boat anglers alike. Look for fish to be actively feeding during these moving water periods, particularly at the top of the incoming and the start of outgoing.

    Fish activity in the Sound is heating up. Early reports out of the creel checks indicate chinook salmon are scarce in the central Sound due to tight regulations, but coho are trickling through and a few resident blackmouth have been landed by dedicated trollers. Most success has come from trolling three-inch spoons or hoochies behind a flasher at 80 to 120 feet over deeper channels. The best colors lately have been green/glow and blue/silver.

    Lingcod and rockfish are seeing steady action along rocky reefs and jetties. Fresh herring or scented soft plastics fished off bottom are working well. Try white or root beer colored swimbaits for lingcod. A few legal lings have come in from the Marine Area 10 and 11 reefs, with reports of solid numbers near Shilshole and Elliott Bay.

    In the local rivers, cutthroat trout are responding to minnow imitations and small poppers, especially during the morning hours. For fly anglers in the estuaries and lower rivers, chum fry patterns and olive clousers continue to draw strikes.

    If you’re just getting out, my top lure picks are a green/glow 3-inch Coho Killer or a chartreuse needlefish hoochie for salmon, and white curly-tail jigs or six-inch swimbaits for bottomfish. Natural baits like fresh herring or sand shrimp are prime for lingcod.

    For hotspots, point your boat to the waters off Point No Point and Edmonds in the morning for a shot at coho and blackmouth. On the south end, try the Tacoma Narrows tide rips for lingcod and various bottom dwellers.

    Overall, fishing is picking up as water temps rise and tides push fresh baitfish into the Sound. The bite is best during tidal swings, especially on the incoming tide mid-morning today. Good luck, keep those lines tight, and I’ll see you on the water.

  • Puget Sound Fishing Explodes with Pink Salmon Bonanza

    Puget Sound Fishing Explodes with Pink Salmon Bonanza
    May 16 2025
    Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Puget Sound fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 16th, 2025.

    The sun's just coming up over the Sound this morning, and we're looking at what should be a fantastic day to hit the water! Today marks the opening of a new fishing season that runs through June 30th, so timing couldn't be better.

    The big news around Puget Sound continues to be the phenomenal pink salmon returns we're seeing this year. The 2025 forecast is sitting at 7.76 million pinks - that's up 70% from the 10-year average and on track to be the third largest return on record. The Green and Nisqually rivers are showing particularly strong numbers, so keep those in mind if you're targeting pinks.

    Based on recent creel reports from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, anglers have been having good success at Point Defiance Public Ramp in Area 11 around Tacoma-Vashon Island. Another hot spot has been up north at the Bellingham Ramp at Squalicum Harbor - they've been seeing consistent action there over the past few days.

    For you fly fishing enthusiasts, conditions are prime right now. The Cedar River is at ideal wading levels between 150-600 cfs, and the Snoqualmie is perfect for both wading and floating. If you're willing to venture a bit further out, the Skagit is fishing well too.

    For tackle recommendations, I've been hearing silver spoons and pink hoochies have been working magic for the salmon. If you're bait fishing, herring has been the consistent producer, especially around the Point Defiance area. Don't forget to tip your jigs with a bit of cured shrimp - that's been the local secret weapon lately.

    For today's hot spots, I'd recommend trying the north end of Vashon Island during the morning incoming tide, then shifting to the Edmonds waterfront as the afternoon progresses. The structure around the Kingston ferry terminal has also been holding some nice fish.

    Tidal movement today should give us a nice push of fresh fish, with the tide changes creating those perfect feeding windows. The weather is cooperating too - just enough cloud cover to keep the fish from getting too skittish.

    Remember, with the strong pink forecast, we're seeing more anglers on the water than usual, so get to your spots early. The Nisqually reach has been less crowded if you're looking to avoid the masses.

    That's your Friday report, folks. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and see you on the water!

  • Puget Sound Fishing Report: Lingcod Hot, Salmon Picking Up, and Cutthroat Swarm the Beaches

    Puget Sound Fishing Report: Lingcod Hot, Salmon Picking Up, and Cutthroat Swarm the Beaches
    May 14 2025
    Good morning, anglers. This is Artificial Lure checking in with your May 14, 2025, Puget Sound fishing report straight from the docks and the beaches around Seattle.

    Today’s sunrise came at 5:33 am, with sunset expected around 8:39 pm. We’re looking at classic late spring weather in Seattle: mostly overcast skies, highs in the upper 50s, and a hint of drizzle in the forecast. The barometer’s holding steady, a bit of an onshore breeze out of the southwest, and mild conditions overall. Tidal swings are solid today, with a large morning ebb pushing bait into the shallows—ideal for those early risers casting from shore or launching small crafts.

    Lingcod is the big story right now. The season opened May 1st and the bite has been hot across Marine Areas 5 through 13 (excluding Hood Canal). Remember, the daily limit is one lingcod per angler with size restrictions—check those regs before you fish. Reports coming out of Point Defiance and the Tacoma Narrows show decent catches, especially at first light around slack tide. Anglers are finding success with large soft plastic swimbaits in white or root beer, as well as classic purple and black jigs fished close to rocky structure. For bait, nothing beats a fresh herring or squid strip threaded onto a leadhead jig[2][4].

    Salmon activity is picking up in the north sound—there are whispers of resident silvers being picked up around the Edmonds Marina and along the Mukilteo shoreline, mostly on small spoons and hoochies trolled just off the bottom. Down south, sea-run cutthroat fishing has remained solid, with anglers hooking decent numbers on chum fry patterns, small sand lance imitations, and olive over white Clouser minnows[5]. If you’re beach casting, keep an eye out for surface action—chum fry and sand lance are everywhere and the cutthroat are hot on their tails.

    Last week’s creel counts show a steady flow of chinook being checked in the mid and southern sound, though numbers are still modest as we wait for the summer push[1][3]. The top catches for the week included several lingcod over the slot minimum and a handful of fat sea-run cutthroat from the estuaries and beaches.

    Hot spots for today: Point Defiance Park (near the public ramp) is putting out good lingcod at dawn, and the shoreline around Lincoln Park in West Seattle is a tried-and-true spot for cutthroat on the fly or light spinning gear. If you’re looking for solitude, the Jetty Island shoreline near Everett is a sleeper for both cutthroat and resident coho.

    Tight lines and fair tides. See you out there.
