  • Puget Sound Fishing Forecast February 15, 2025 - Steelhead, Cutthroat, and Salmon Opportunities Abound

    Puget Sound Fishing Forecast February 15, 2025 - Steelhead, Cutthroat, and Salmon Opportunities Abound
    Feb 15 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers, this is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene in and around Puget Sound as of February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, the sunrise is at about 7:23 AM, and sunset will be around 4:57 PM, giving us a decent amount of daylight to get out on the water. The weather is looking typical for the Pacific Northwest – overcast with a light drizzle, temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Not ideal, but certainly fishable.

    Now, let's dive into the tidal report. For today, the high tides are at 3:26 AM with a level of 11.1 feet and again at 12:21 PM with a level of 10.6 feet. The low tides are at 8:10 AM with a level of 8.7 feet and again at 7:53 PM with a level of -1.0 feet. These tidal changes should provide some good windows for fishing, especially during the early morning and late evening hours.

    The fish activity in Puget Sound has been quite promising lately. For those after winter steelhead, the Olympic Peninsula rivers like the Bogachiel and Calawah are still producing some hatchery fish, along with a few wild steelhead starting to show up in decent numbers. Historically, February and March are the peak months for wild steelhead returns, so we can expect the fishing to improve in the coming weeks. Use a variety of sink tips and flies to adapt to the changing water conditions. Streamers or a double nymph rig under an indicator work well in the mornings, while dry fly fishing in the afternoons can be very productive. Flies like parachute Adams, Griffiths Gnat, WD-40, and Zebra Midge are good choices.

    In the South Puget Sound, sea-run cutthroat trout fishing has been improving daily. These fish are active, especially during the early morning outgoing tides. You can expect to find them feeding on chum fry and other small crustaceans close to the shore. Use slow retrieves with krill and euphasid patterns. A floating krill pattern like the White Gartside Gurgler can be very effective. Baitfish patterns such as the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver are also worth having in your fly box.

    For salmon enthusiasts, Chinook salmon fishing is always a highlight in Puget Sound. While the peak season is usually in the summer, there are still opportunities to catch them, especially when using the right lures. 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 like the Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid, Grand Slam Bucktails, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are proven winners in these waters. The Puget Pounder metal jig is another excellent choice, especially for pier fishing.

    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the southern portion of Puget Sound for sea-run cutthroat. Public piers such as Edmonds Fishing Pier and Les Davis Pier near Tacoma are excellent spots for squid jigging and can also yield some salmon catches. For steelhead, the Olympic Peninsula rivers are your best bet.

    So, gear up and get out there – the fish are waiting, and the conditions are ripe for a great day of fishing in Puget Sound. Tight lines, everyone

  • Fishing the Puget Sound: Tides, Lures, and Hotspots for Salmon

    Fishing the Puget Sound: Tides, Lures, and Hotspots for Salmon
    Feb 14 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on fishing in and around Puget Sound, Washington, for today, February 14th, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide tables, today we have a high tide at 06:29 PST with a height of 12.0 feet, and a low tide at 12:29 PST with a height of 4.5 feet[2]. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so it's crucial to plan your fishing trip around them.

    The weather for today is expected to be partly cloudy with mild temperatures, which is ideal for a day out on the water. Sunrise was at around 7:20 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:20 PM, giving us a good window for fishing.

    Recently, the fishing in Area 13 of South Puget Sound has been quite promising. Anglers have been catching a decent number of Chinook and Coho salmon. For instance, reports from last year indicated that areas like Pt. Gibson and the Nisqually area were hot spots, with anglers catching fish at depths ranging from 50 to 85 feet[1].

    When it comes to lures, you can't go wrong with some of the classics. The Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid is a favorite among local anglers. These plastic squids, especially in colors like Green Dot, Green Splatter Back, and Purple Haze, have been consistently effective when trolled behind a flasher[3].

    Another highly recommended lure is the Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoon. These spoons are versatile and have been successful in catching both Chinook and Coho salmon across various areas of Puget Sound. Trolling them behind a flasher can increase your chances of landing a big catch[3].

    For those who prefer metal jigs, the Puget Pounder Jig is a great option. These jigs are particularly effective when used for vertical jigging in areas where Chinook salmon are known to congregate, such as near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Pt. Gibson and the Nisqually area. These spots have consistently produced good results, especially during the early morning and late afternoon when the tide changes. At Pt. Gibson, try fishing at depths around 50-70 feet with lures like the Gibbs Skinny G or the Gibbs #4 Bon Chovy. In the Nisqually area, fishing at 85 feet with 55 feet of line out has yielded some impressive catches[1].

    In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on Puget Sound. With the right lures and knowledge of the tides, you're set for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip. Good luck, and tight lines

  • Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Cutthroat, Blackmouth, and Steelhead Opportunities Abound

    Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Cutthroat, Blackmouth, and Steelhead Opportunities Abound
    Feb 12 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene in and around Puget Sound as of February 12, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, we have a high tide at 5:48 AM with a level of 12.11 feet, another high tide at 4:15 PM with a level of 10.28 feet, and the low tides are at 11:23 AM with a level of 6.03 feet and again at 10:55 PM with a level of -0.65 feet. These tidal changes should provide some good windows for fishing, especially during the early morning and late evening hours.

    Weather-wise, it's a typical Pacific Northwest day – overcast with a light drizzle, temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Not ideal, but certainly fishable. Sunrise today is at 7:23 AM, and sunset is at 4:57 PM, giving us a decent amount of daylight to get out on the water.

    Now, onto the fish activity. Recently, the South Puget Sound has been seeing some action with sea-run cutthroat trout. These fish are active, especially during the early morning outgoing tides. You can expect to find them feeding on chum fry and other small crustaceans close to the shore. For these fish, using fly patterns like Sculpin, Euphausiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods and amphipods are your best bets.

    For those targeting salmon, the winter blackmouth (Chinook) fishing has been decent. Lures like the Gold Star Yamashita #35 Octopus Squid, Grand Slam Bucktails, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are proven winners in these waters. If you're not set up for trolling with downriggers, vertical jigging with metal jigs like the Puget Pounder Jig can also be very effective.

    If you're looking for some hot spots, the beaches around the South Puget Sound are always a good bet. Places like Point Defiance and the shores around Vashon Island have been producing some nice catches of sea-run cutthroat and resident coho. For salmon, the areas near Tacoma and Gig Harbor have been productive, especially when using the aforementioned lures.

    In the Olympic Peninsula, the steelhead season is in full swing. The Bogachiel and Calawah rivers are still yielding some hatchery fish and a few nice native steelhead. Make sure to bring a variety of sink tips and flies to adapt to the changing water conditions.

    In summary, today looks like a good day to get out and catch some fish in Puget Sound. With the right lures and a bit of patience, you should be able to land some nice sea-run cutthroat or even a Chinook salmon. Just remember to slow down your retrieves, especially for the cutthroat, and keep an eye out for those early morning and late evening tides.

    Tight lines, everyone
