April Springer Fishing was excellent!

The 2025 salmon season kicked off April 2nd with a short Hatchery Chinook Salmon season. The fishing was excellent, and the quota was hit in record time!

The salmon forecast for 2025 is over 6M fish expected to return to Puget Sound. There will be tight chinook salmon retention regulations as chinook in Puget Sound and the entire west coast including Canada are struggling. It is now largely a catch and release fishery. for King Salmon.

Pink and coho should be off the charts!
