Local fishing guide

Common here: coho salmon · pink salmon · lingcod · surf smelt · Access: pier / beach / jetty

Seattle’s fishing is Puget Sound: brackish, deep, and ruled by a 10-plus-foot tide swing. You don’t need a boat — the city’s public piers and pocket beaches put you on salmon runs from August into fall.

What runs when

Pink salmon: odd years only (2025, 2027…), August-September, jumping visibly off west-facing beaches.
Coho: August through October, from the piers on any moving tide.
Lingcod: spring season on the jetty rocks — check the year’s season carefully.
Surf smelt: summer spawning runs on the beaches; cast-net or jigs at the right tide.

Where to cast

Elliott Bay’s public piers (Pier 86 area) for coho; Alki Beach for pinks on the flood; Golden Gardens for smelt when the run is on.

Tide timing here

The Sound’s huge swing means shallow beaches are useless at low water — fish the top half of the tide, and the last two hours of the rise is the salmon window locals guard. It’s the exact window this page computes daily.

Rules to know

Washington saltwater license with salmon endorsement; pink/coho rules change by area and year — read the current WDFW regulations pamphlet before you go.
