Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Promising Cutthroat, Coho, and Chum Salmon Action on December 14, 2024

  • Inhaltsangabe

  • For December 14, 2024, the fishing scene in the Puget Sound is looking promising, especially for those targeting sea-run cutthroat, coho, and chum salmon.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides in Olympia, Budd Inlet, are as follows: High tide at 5:45 AM with a height of 15.59 feet, low tide at 10:49 AM with a height of 8.72 feet, another high tide at 3:24 PM with 15.58 feet, and a low tide at 10:55 PM with -3.63 feet. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so be sure to fish during the transitioning tides for the best results[2].

    ### Weather and Daylight
    The sunrise is at 7:50 AM, and sunset is at 4:22 PM. The weather is expected to be typical for this time of year, with cooler temperatures and possibly some rain, so dress accordingly.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw some good action for sea-run cutthroat and coho salmon. The chum salmon run is still active, especially in the South Puget Sound, where anglers have been catching quality fish. Slow down your retrieves and focus on winter fly patterns such as Sculpin, Euphassiid and Krill, and small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For sea-run cutthroat, use chum fry patterns and cover a lot of water to find the action. For coho and chum salmon, stick with the winter fly patterns mentioned above. If you prefer conventional gear, small jigs and spoons that mimic the baitfish and crustaceans in the area can be very effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    Head to Possession Point on the southern tip of Whidbey Island, which is known for its fantastic fishing year-round due to its strategic location at the intersection of Admiralty Inlet, Possession Sound, and Central Puget Sound. This area is a hotspot for salmon migration routes[3].

    Another great spot is the South Puget Sound, particularly around the beaches and inlets where the chum salmon are currently running. Look for moving water and early morning outgoing tides for the best chances of catching these hard-fighting fish[1].

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water in the Puget Sound, with plenty of fish to target and favorable tidal conditions. Good luck out there
