Eeeh! Awesome. Sea run coastals are so incredible. Love all the yellow on the bellies and edges. We have so many great fish to keep us occupied around here! 🐟
I've been beach fishing Puget Sound for over 40 years (though I'm mainly a river steelhead, Sea-run Cutthrout and salmon guy). Best time of day is the last two hours of light, as the sun goes down the bait fish move in and the big fish follow, with the exception of dark rainy days. Though grass (seaweed & kelp) is a big pain in the ass, you really need to keep your fly or lure in the water almost to your feet. Coho are chasers and I can't tell you how many fish I've had strike just as I was pulling out of the water. It's nice easy thing to do after work and you can bring the significant other along to hang out at the beach
Awesome advice! You understand the work is worth the reward. This one chased that bug to within 15’ of me with a vengeance! Good to know about last light being better. 🐟👌
Hey Gus! I am moving to the Seattle area later this month from Idaho. I am an avid fly fisherman, and I am already E-scouting many of the rivers around Seattle. Just curious if you could guide me towards any watersheds that fish well (trout, salmon, steel) during the October-November months. Thanks!
Awesome! Love fishing eastern Idaho. You’re asking all the right questions and your timing is awesome. This year there’s no pinks so you’ll have better access to coho and trout. Bull trout are especially cool which we have lots of in places. I’dd look at all the “S” rivers like Skagit/Stilliguamish/Skykomish/Snohomish/Snoqualmie/Nooksack and more. Those systems will get you in the ballpark and I could possibly talk further side bar… Have Facebook messenger?
Though I mostly fish the Olympic Peninsula rivers, streams and creeks (I grew up there and have recently moved backed), one of my favorite quick jaunts over there is on the Skykomish below Monroe for salmon and Steelhead. Go into Monroe, cross the Lewis St. bridge then take a right on the Tualco Valley Rd. Go to the rough boat launch on the Tualco Loop Rd. (sometimes you have to undo the electric fence). Park and follow the little trail upriver for about 10-minutes. You end up with about 1/2-mile+ of fishable and open bank to fish that includes a 90-degree and small boulder garden above the corner. I used to fish very regularly and would go all-day and maybe 1-2 other people. It's a nice, easy to get to spot that usually doesn't have much pressure in the fall and winter. It beats some of the other hard-hat fishing spots along the river.
Awesome!!
Thank you for watching!
Very cool, congrats! Salmon on a fly definitely make you work for them.
Thank you! They sure do.

Nice work. Just getting into the salt fishing this year myself. A couple nice SRC's but no salmon yet.
