Title: Salmon fishing Puget Sound
Post by: police women of America on August 26, 2015, 02:26:15 PM: Hi, in about two weeks me and my sister are going salmon fishing for the first time!
And I would appreciate any tips like what's good bait or lures for the Puget Sound. Also when you purchase your license do they include the Catch Record Card when you buy it?
Thanks!

Google salmon mooching and you should find tips and tricks, guides on how to rig your bait. Lotta fish have been blessed by a priest mooching.

Mid point of the canal same type of thing, as well as some good mooching areas. Mooching is tricky and takes a lot of practice to get good. Browns Point and Hazel Pt are good... Quilecene Bay will be loaded with silvers by then, and there a bunch of pinks running down the western shorelines.

Good luck.
