Chinook Salmon
For Chinook salmon enthusiasts, Anderson Island, Washington, offers a strategic location to intercept these prized fish as they migrate through Puget Sound. Anglers here benefit from the island's proximity to key salmon migration routes. The best opportunities arise during the summer and fall months when Chinook are returning to spawn in nearby rivers. Focus your efforts on areas with strong currents and underwater structure, as salmon often use these features to rest and ambush prey. Popular spots include the waters off the southern tip of the island. Utilizing downriggers to present your lures or bait at the correct depth is crucial, as Chinook tend to hold deep. Local tip: pay attention to tide changes, as salmon activity often increases during tidal shifts. Access to the water is available via the Anderson Island ferry and several small boat launches around the island. Matching your lure presentation to the prevalent forage fish, such as herring or candlefish, will significantly increase your chances of success. Always check the WDFW regulations for specific openings and restrictions in the area.
