Chinook Salmon Fishing in Washington

Chinook Salmon
  • Size 10-50 lbs
  • Food Value Excellent
  • Game Qualities Good
  • Habitats Inshore, Lake, River, Nearshore

(Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Discover some of North America’s best angling opportunities as you go Salmon fishing in Washington state. From the Pacific Ocean to the freshwater rivers, you can target 3 kinds of Salmon. Pink, Coho, and King (Chinook) Salmon all call the “Evergreen State” home. 
 
Your average Coho will weigh in at just under 20 pounds, while King Salmon grow to trophy sizes. You could find yourself in a battle with a beast weighing 75 pounds, so get ready for some heavy lifting if you want a big reward!
 

Where and When to Go

The beauty of fishing for Salmon in Washington is that it’s ubiquitous all year round. From the Pacific shores to the heart of the Columbia River, there’s never a bad time or a bad place to go fishing. 

 

Puget Sound

This world-famous waterway is overflowing with Salmon. The Puget Sound stretches over 100 miles from north to south, offering plenty of fishing opportunities along the way. Step aboard a charter in Edmunds, Seattle, Bremerton, Tacoma, and many more to  get your fill of fishing. 
 
You’ll find exciting fishing yearround, as Chinook – or “Blackmouth” as they’re known here – fill the waters in the winter, while Coho populates the Sound in Summer. While some species have been overfished, especially around the San Juan Islands, there’s still plenty of Salmon to go around. Try trolling or jigging, and get ready for a thrilling day out. 

 

Columbia River

While it may no longer be the world’s largest Salmon producer, the Columbia River still yields plenty of exciting fishing. From the border with Oregon all the way to the Pacific, there’s a range of fishing grounds to explore along this world-famous river. 
 
As the season heats up in spring, the Kings will make their way from the Olympic peninsula in great numbers. Head out in summer to catch that trophy-sized monster! Before the season comes to an end, the south-western waters of the Columbia River are the place to be, as the final Salmon run of the year continues up ‘til November. 

 

Pacific Ocean 

It’s impossible to discuss Salmon fishing in Washington state without mentioning the Pacific. Located west of the state, these rich waters come alive in summer. Departing out of Westport, Sekiu, and many other ports, you’ll head to the honey holes up to 15 miles offshore to battle it out with monster King and delicious Coho Salmon. Work up a sweat against these beasts and land a worthy reward to take home. 
 

How to Prepare

Beginners and experienced anglers are welcome aboard to sample some fantastic fishing, with trips lasting from 4 to 8 hours. A range of different fishing boats will take you to these productive grounds, but they’ll all come fitted with everything you need for a productive day out. 
 
All you have to do before coming aboard is grab your WA fishing license, bring some drinks and snacks, and settle in for the fishing trip of a lifetime. If you’re looking for Salmon, there’s no better place to be than Washington. Come and see for yourself!

Captain Jim is very precessional. Great quality gear. Runs a tight ship. He is very knowledgeable of the river systems and knows how to put you on fish. We fished for two days and had a blast. Plan on booking again in the near future. The Captain can make it happen!!

Check regulations on limits. Two fish is the limit. Assess whether a shorter trip than six hours is appropriate: we booked six hours, however only fished three because we had reached our limit, and the Guide was hesitant to continue catching and releasing, even though the hooks were barbless. as a guide myself, I totally understand this stance. Overall great trip.

Could just be the season but there was a ton of bait fish but also almost an infestation of dog sharks who would grab your bait before most salmon had a chance.

This is very convenient for those living in the Seattle-area, especially during the Coho run. Not even 10 minutes of sailing and you are on the fish. Very much worth it.

It was fun but once it rained it got very cold. The fish were not biting very much at this time. I believe a later warmer time of year would have been better as far as catching fish. The trip itself was very fun.
