Steelhead
While Anderson Island isn't directly on a major steelhead river, its proximity to the Nisqually River and Puget Sound offers opportunities to intercept these prized fish. Anglers often target steelhead as they migrate through the Sound towards their natal rivers. Winter is prime time, especially after a period of rain when the rivers are up and the fish are moving. Focus on areas with strong currents and structure. Spoons and spinners are popular choices, but bait like sand shrimp can also be effective. A key local tip is to pay attention to the salinity levels in the water; steelhead tend to stay closer to freshwater plumes. Accessing these fish requires a boat, and the launch at Ketron Island offers a good starting point for exploring the waters around Anderson Island.
