Finally Back on the water!
Well the late winter and early spring salmon fishing season was shutdown by the State to prevent the spread of Covid 19. March, April and May seemed to drag on forever but all of that is in the rear view mirror. We are now back on the water running fishing charters. Extra cleaning and wearing masks is the new norm this summer.
The salmon season opened in Puget Sound area 10 on the first of June. The June fishery is focused on resident coho salmon. These are feisty salmon on the smaller end of the scale. Most are 3-6 lbs. The chinook salmon are starting to enter the Puget Sound but these large salmon must be released until July 16th.
This large King was caught and released today. We had a great day on the water releasing several fish and long distance release a few others. Fishing only gets better and better each day for the rest of the summer!
