Title: Pink run timing
Post by: Dan-o on May 09, 2025, 01:43:57 PM: Howdy.

Does anyone have good data on the expected timing for peak of the Pink Salmon run in south Puget Sound?

I've got a couple nephews that live in Utah. Hoping to get them up at a time we can really get into them.

I need to get them timing fairly quickly so they can get time off.

Thanks!

Dan

H88 if you add some vitamin R and V8 juice with those doughnuts you will have the ultimate boat breakfast! I agree mid August to first week of September is great Humpy fishing! :twocents:
