  • Summary

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing in and around Puget Sound. Today, January 31st, 2025, promises to be an exciting day on the water, so let's dive into the details.

    First off, let's check the tides. According to the tide reports, we have a low tide at 00:33 AM with a height of -0.62 meters, followed by a high tide at 7:29 AM reaching 4.98 meters. The next low tide is at 1:25 PM with a height of 1.85 meters, and the final high tide of the day is at 6:22 PM, hitting 4.18 meters[2].

    The weather is looking relatively calm, with partial cloud cover and mild temperatures, making it ideal for a day out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:37 AM, and sunset is at 5:13 PM, giving us a good window to catch those early morning and late afternoon bites.

    Recently, the South Puget Sound has been seeing some great action. Sea Run Cutthroat fishing has been excellent, with fish actively moving around, especially during early morning outgoing tides. For these cutthroats, it's best to use fly patterns that mimic small crustaceans like krill, euphausiids, and sculpin. Slow down your retrieves and focus on winter fly patterns to increase your chances[1].

    Coho fishing has also been good, with both resident and ocean-going coho present in the waters. For coho, using baitfish patterns like the Foul Free Herring or the Mini Deceiver can be very effective. If you're targeting coho, look for moving water and keep searching and covering the water to find the best spots[1].

    For those after Chinook salmon, lures like the Grand Slam Bucktails, Puget Pounder Jigs, and Silver Horde Kingfisher Spoons are top choices. These lures, especially when trolled behind a flasher, can be very productive in the southern areas of Puget Sound near Vashon Island, Tacoma, and Gig Harbor[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out the beaches around Olympia and the Budd Inlet. These areas have been known for their good fishing conditions, especially during the early morning and late afternoon tides. Another great spot is the southern part of Puget Sound, particularly around Vashon Island and the waters near Tacoma and Gig Harbor.

    In summary, today is shaping up to be a great day for fishing in Puget Sound. With the right tides, calm weather, and the right lures, you're set for a productive day on the water. Remember to slow down your retrieves for those winter fly patterns and keep an eye out for moving water and early morning outgoing tides. Tight lines, everyone
