Seasonal Activity Chart
Chinook Salmon
Camano Island is a prime location for intercepting migrating Chinook salmon in Puget Sound. The island's position along major salmon migration routes makes it an excellent spot for both boat and shore anglers. Peak season is typically during the summer months, from July through September, as Chinook return to their natal rivers to spawn. Trolling with downriggers is a popular and effective method, focusing on depths where salmon are actively feeding. A local tip is to pay attention to baitfish concentrations, as Chinook will often follow schools of herring or candlefish. Several public boat launches around Camano Island provide access, including those at Camano State Park and Utsalady Point. Be sure to check the WDFW regulations for specific area closures and gear restrictions, as these can change frequently during the season.
