Northwest Fishing Reports

I see some interestingly negative thoughts on the summer steel this year. I've had my best year for steelhead, and I think it's a direct result of this climate. Fish are going to hold, and they are going to hold in similar spots. They are definitely coming into the river, just a little more scattere...

I see you are not trolling ;) Whoops. In that case, all those same areas - buzz bombs at jumping pinks off San Juan and mooching herring in all the other places.

Sorry for the late reply. Pinks are moving all throughout the islands. Your best bet is always outside of San Juan island on both tides. Fish are easy to locate and in substantial numbers.
