As of October 25, 2024, the fishing scene in Puget Sound is looking promising, especially with the fall season in full swing.
### Conditions
- **Tidal Report**: Today's tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. These tides should provide good conditions for both shore and boat anglers.
- **Weather**: The forecast shows partly cloudy skies with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day to be out on the water. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s to low 60s.
- **Sunrise and Sunset**: Sunrise is at 7:34 AM, and sunset will be at 5:51 PM, giving anglers a good window of daylight.
### Fish Activity
- **Salmon**: The fall salmon run is active, with coho and Chinook salmon being the primary targets. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of coho salmon, particularly in areas like the Seattle-Bremerton area and around Sekiu and Pillar Point.
- **Steelhead**: While steelhead fishing is not as robust in the mainstem Columbia River, there are some opportunities in tributaries and specific areas like Drano Lake, where hatchery steelhead retention is allowed.
### Catch Reports
- In the Seattle-Bremerton area, anglers caught around 12 coho salmon per 39 anglers interviewed at the Shilshole Public Ramp. In the Sekiu and Pillar Point area, 16 coho were caught by 11 anglers.
- There were also reports of some Chinook salmon catches, although the numbers are lower compared to coho.
### Best Lures and Bait
- For coho salmon, using spoons like the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or the Acme Kastmaster can be very effective. These lures mimic the baitfish that coho feed on.
- For Chinook salmon, hoochies or herring behind a flasher are often successful.
- Bait-wise, using live or cut herring, as well as anchovies, can attract both coho and Chinook salmon.
### Hot Spots
- **Camano Island State Park Public Ramp**: This area has been productive for coho salmon, especially around Deception Pass and Skagit Bay.
- **Van Riper's South**: Located near Sekiu and Pillar Point, this spot has seen a good number of coho catches recently.
Overall, it's a great time to be out on Puget Sound, with the fall colors adding to the scenic beauty of the area. Make sure to check the latest regulations and any emergency rule changes before you head out.
