Fishing Port Angeles

Neah Bay, Sekiu and Port Angeles: big tidal currents where the ocean enters Puget Sound.

What's biting now (Fall): Coho and chum salmon in Puget Sound and rivers (by season); lingcod and rockfish rules vary.

Commonly caught in this area: Salmon, halibut (short seasons), lingcod and rockfish.

Also caught here: cabezon, kelp greenling.

Piers put you over deeper water without a boat. Fish the pilings for sheepshead and snapper, and cast out from the end for mackerel and pompano when they run. Many Florida piers sell a license that covers everyone fishing from that pier.

How the bite outlook works

The rating is our estimate, not a guarantee. It combines tide range, wind, rain and storms, temperature swings, the moon phase and how well the solunar periods line up with dawn and dusk. Fish do not read forecasts - local knowledge always wins. Read more
