Steelhead
Chasing steelhead around Camano Island offers a unique Pacific Northwest experience, blending the thrill of saltwater and brackish environments. Unlike river-bound steelhead, these fish often stage near the island as they transition to freshwater systems. The best time to target them is late fall through early spring, coinciding with their spawning runs and the presence of abundant forage fish. Focus your efforts where Skagit River outflow influences the surrounding waters. A key local tip is to pay close attention to the tide charts. Steelhead often move with the tide, using the currents to their advantage. Try fishing near Saratoga Passage during outgoing tides, as this can concentrate fish. Also, be prepared to adjust your presentation based on water clarity – natural-looking presentations are often key, but a bit of flash can help in murky conditions. Remember to check the WDFW regulations for specific gear restrictions and open seasons in Marine Area 8-1 and its tributaries.
