Chinook Salmon
Targeting Chinook salmon around Blakely Island offers a quintessential Puget Sound fishing experience. This area, part of the San Juan Islands, is known for its stunning scenery and productive waters. The best time to chase these “Kings” is typically from late summer into early fall as they stage before heading to their natal rivers to spawn. Focus your efforts around structure like reefs and points where salmon tend to congregate. Trolling with downriggers is the preferred method, allowing you to present your lures at the depths where the fish are holding. A local tip: pay attention to the tidal currents, as Chinook often orient themselves into the current to ambush prey. Using flasher and spoon combinations that mimic the local herring population can be incredibly effective. Blakely Island offers limited public access, so launching from nearby islands or mainland locations is common. Be sure to check the WDFW emergency regulations as they can change rapidly.
