Good fishing opportunities abound the saltwater fringes of Seattle Washington at any time of year. King Salmon and Silver Salmon are most often our targeted sport fish in Puget Sound. There are however times when retaining salmon is not allowed in most areas. Those months are roughly May and June. It is then that we focus on bottom fish like Ling Cod, Cabezon and Flounder. Please look below to see when you might like to fish.
