  • Summary

  • For January 3, 2025, the fishing scene in Puget Sound, Seattle, is looking promising, especially with the current tidal and weather conditions.

    ### 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 3:58 PM with a height of 10.5 feet, followed by a low tide at 11:13 PM with a height of -2.5 feet. These tidal changes create excellent moving water conditions, ideal for finding active fish.

    ### Weather
    The weather today is cool and cloudy, with a cloud cover of 92%. The temperature is steady at around 44°F, with a minimum of 42°F and a maximum of 44°F. The wind is moderate at 8 mph with gusts up to 15 mph, and the humidity is high at 89%. Dress warmly and be prepared for potential rain.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:58 AM, and sunset will be at 4:27 PM, giving you about 8 hours and 29 minutes of daylight to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday's reports indicated a good number of sea-run cutthroat, coho, and some chum salmon being caught. The cutthroat fishing has been particularly good, with fish responding well to chum fry patterns and other small suggestive patterns mimicking copepods, amphipods, and other small crustacean larvae. Coho fishing has also been strong, with both resident and ocean-going coho present.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For sea-run cutthroat, use fly patterns like Sculpin, Euphausiid, and Krill, and small suggestive patterns. For coho, baitfish patterns such as the Foul Free Herring or Mini Deceiver can be effective. Chum fry patterns are also working well, especially as the chum fry migration is still active.

    ### Hot Spots
    The South Puget Sound beaches have been fishing very well, especially around moving water and during early morning outgoing tides. The Olympic Peninsula is another hot spot, particularly for wild steelhead which are starting to show in decent numbers. Look for areas with good tidal movement and structure.

    Overall, today's conditions are favorable for a productive day of fishing in Puget Sound. Make sure to check the local weather forecast and adjust your gear and tactics accordingly. Happy fishing
