Northwest Fishing Reports

Is it just me or is the Salmon fishing really slow and spotty this year compared to last year.Last year I had 14 fish on my punch.This year only 2.What are your guys thoughts or expierences.

Pink fishing was/has been outta control. But I haven't been able to get a coho yet. I haven't given it much effort though.

Coho fishing has been poor, but last year was much worse...

This years summer king fishery was amazing out in the salt. Area 9 was full of wild and hatchery fish, resulting in some clipped fish to take home and some monster wild fish that had to be turned back. That was a lot of fun and by far the best fishery of the season (maybe alltime) for me.

Pinks= the usual. Tons of them. Lots of fun to CnR for me. But yes the silver fishing has been on the slow side this year.

Blackmouth fishing out in the salt will be great this winter too!

I agree with you Shawn. Seems like you had to be in the right place at the right time to catch fish this year. I have only punched two fish on my catch card too. I didn't keep any pinks and the wild chinook release rule put a dent in my catch rate.

It's finally starting to pick up at my usaul spots.But nothing like last year.By this time last year I was on fish number 15.As of today I on fish number 4.That's a big diffrence.
