  • Summary

  • As of January 2, 2025, here’s your fishing report for Puget Sound, Washington.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides in Puget Sound are significant. The high tide is expected at around 6:28 AM with a height of 12.3 feet, and the low tide at 11:40 AM with a height of 8.7 feet. Another high tide will occur at 15:58 with a height of 10.5 feet, followed by a low tide at 23:13 with a height of -2.5 feet[2].

    ### Weather
    The weather today is expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s Fahrenheit. There might be some light drizzle, but overall, it should be a decent day for fishing.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:55 AM, and sunset will be at 4:20 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching sea-run cutthroat trout, coho salmon, and chum salmon. The cutthroat trout have been particularly active, especially during the changing tides[4].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    While specific catch numbers for today are not available, the general trend indicates a good presence of cutthroat trout and salmon. The southern Puget Sound, particularly Marine Area 13, has year-round salmon fishing, though the current season is more favorable for cutthroat trout[5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For cutthroat trout, using medium-weight rods with 15 lb test line and casting jigs or float fishing with herring is highly effective. For salmon, especially in areas like Deception Pass and Possession Point, using lures that mimic baitfish or herring can be very productive[3][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Deception Pass**: Known for its high concentration of salmon, this area is a favorite among local anglers. The strong currents here make it a challenging but rewarding spot.
    - **Possession Point**: Located at the southern tip of Whidbey Island, this area offers fantastic fishing year-round due to its strategic location where several migration routes intersect[3].

    In summary, today looks like a good day to hit the waters of Puget Sound, especially during the changing tides. Be prepared with the right gear and bait, and you might just catch some of those active cutthroat trout or salmon. Happy fishing
