Northwest Fishing Reports

I live in Seattle and would like to go somewhere within an hour away from Seattle where I can catch a bunch of pinks. I don't like salmons that much and would like to just go and have a good time. I'm bringing a business partner and just want to show him the Pacific Northwest and what it has to offer. Can someone help? I can go as far as 1 and 1/2 hours.

Thank you for your help!

Are you fishing from a boat, or from shore? Read any of the reports under the recent reports section. You can fish rivers or salt. Whatever you want. Almost any of the beaches within Seattle should be fine. But the rivers are hot right now, as you will see in the reports.

Check out this article from the Seattle Times to get you started

I'm fishing from shore and would love to know a couple of hot spots to take my friend. I don't care if it's salt or river.

Hey Clear...Google Earth the lower Puyallup. Look for N. Levee Rd and River Rd. Read the reports as Quad advised, and then go it these areas. Drive along one of those roads, stop and search out a place to fish and give it a try. There's a lot of info for set-ups as well. Good luck and have fun!

Go to 3 Rivers Marine in Woodinville, by Costco. They have a hand out w/ tips & info about the different rivers in the area. The staff is also very helpful in helping you pick out lures and such for pinks.
