Best Months to
Fish by Area
Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal rivers Salmon fisheries in
Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal rivers are limited by the amount
of allowable mortality on Endangered Species Act listed chinook salmon
and summer chum. Chinook salmon opportunities are limited to those areas
with heavy hatchery production, namely the Skokomish River and Hoodsport
Hatchery Zone. There are no directed fisheries on wild stocks of chinook
salmon. Nonetheless, many rivers provide excellent opportunities for coho
and chum salmon. Rivers like the Dungeness, Quilcene, and Skokomish kick
out thousands of salmon each year. Look for less crowded opportunities
on the smaller rivers like the Dewatto River or the Tahuya River.
