Look at our fishing calendar! It provides a quick glance at yearly opportunities.
Washington state has Seattle fishing charter and guided sport fishing opportunities every day, all year! Each month may have different opportunities depending on the season and fishery. Some months may have several fishing opportunities, while others just one or two.
We have two calendars. The “Year at a Glance” calendar shows various fishing opportunities throughout the year in general. Please keep in mind this may change depending on run timing, regulation changes, etc.
We also have the current calendar which indicates what we are currently fishing and trips you can book online. You can find the current calendar by clicking on “Book Now” in the sidebar.
The “Year at a Glance” calendar is great for planning your trip in general.
You should send us an email or call or text to get more details about fishing opportunities during your planned visit.
Not all fish runs are open everywhere. For example, you may want to fish summer king salmon in marine area 8-2 in the summer. While marine area 8-2 may be open to fishing in general, it may be closed to fishing for king salmon during the summer. In this case, we would be fishing King Salmon in area 9 or area 10, where it is open and has great opportunities for king salmon.
Puget Sound and western Washington has some of the most complex salmon fishing regulations anywhere. It is important to communicate with you captain who knows and understands the regulations.
