Tuna
Newport, Washington, located on the Pend Oreille River, is not a saltwater fishing destination, and therefore not a place to target Tuna, which are exclusively saltwater fish. To pursue Tuna, you would need to travel to the Pacific Coast. Tuna fishing off the Washington coast is best in late summer and early fall when warmer water pushes closer to shore, bringing the fish within reach of anglers. Consider locations like Westport or Ilwaco for charter opportunities or launching your own boat.
