Chinook Salmon
If you're after Chinook salmon, Clallam Bay offers a prime location to intercept these powerful fish as they make their way towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The key here is understanding their migratory patterns, with peak season typically occurring from late summer into early fall. Focus your efforts on areas where salmon stage before entering the rivers, paying attention to underwater structure that might hold baitfish. A local's secret is to troll slowly with downriggers, keeping your bait or lure near the bottom where Chinook often cruise. Clallam Bay is known for its strong currents, so be prepared to adjust your weight accordingly to maintain the proper depth. Also, pay attention to the presence of bait balls; these are a magnet for salmon. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and presentations until you find what the fish are keying on. Always consult the WDFW regulations for the latest updates on seasons, size limits, and gear restrictions.
