January - April
This time of year is dominated by
winter steelhead in the west end rivers. Although there are still some nice sea-runs in
the salt water and some trout fishing in the lakes.
May - June
The lakes and streams have opened up
for trout and there can be some excellent early season fishing. The cutthroat are mostly
back in the salt by now and are ravenous from there spawning run. There can be some
excellent salt water fishing this time of year, not just for cutthroat but also for feeder
Chinook (black mouth).
July - August
Silvers have arrived on the beaches,
cutthroat are still going strong, the high lakes open up for trout. This is also when we
start to see some summer run steelhead and the summer salmon . Don't forget the resident
trout in the streams. This is some of the most beautiful weather of the year and a great
time to visit some of Port Townsend's music festivals.
 September - October - November
The best Fly fishing of the year .
Trout , steelhead , salmon, take your pick. Fish the rivers or the salt , its all great
this time of year, and the weather stays decent at least until the end of Oct.
December
The trout in the sound are still
going
strong. The winter steelhead are just getting started. Get yourself a steelhead for
Christmas!
