Puget Sound Fishing Forecast: Winter Steelhead, Salmon, and Ideal Conditions on December 13, 2024

  • Inhaltsangabe

  • Today, December 13, 2024, is shaping up to be a great day for fishing in the Puget Sound, Washington. Let's start with the tides; according to the tide predictions, high tide is expected around 9:56 AM at La Push with a height of 10.5 feet, and in Seattle, it's at 5:48 AM with a height of 12.7 feet[2].

    The weather is looking relatively calm, with partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures, making it ideal for a day on the water. Sunrise was at 7:48 AM, and sunset will be at 4:20 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    Fish activity has been strong, especially for those targeting winter steelhead. December marks the beginning of the early-returning hatchery steelhead runs in Puget Sound rivers like the Snoqualmie and Skykomish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a decent number of steelhead, particularly in the lower sections of these rivers[1].

    For salmon, the forecasts look promising, with Coho salmon expected to be strong this year and Chinook salmon decent. Anglers have been catching Coho and Chinook in various marine areas, including Marine Area 9 where the Edmonds Pier is located. This pier is known for its high salmon catch rates, especially for Chinook, Coho, and Pink Salmon[3][5].

    When it comes to lures and bait, for steelhead, try using jigs, spinners, or flies that mimic baitfish. For salmon, spoons like the Luhr-Jensen Krocodile or bait such as herring and anchovies are highly effective.

    If you're looking for hot spots, the Edmonds Pier is a must-visit for salmon fishing. It's strategically located where salmon concentrate and feed, making it one of the busiest but most productive piers in Puget Sound[3].

    Another great spot is the Snoqualmie River, which is currently seeing early returns of hatchery steelhead. This river offers both bank and boat access, making it accessible for a variety of anglers[1].
