Tacoma Fishing Reports (July 2026)

Lots of big ling cod

Winter Black Mouth salmon fishing was only open four days in April, but we certainly took advantage of it. Next salmon opening June 1.

It will be very limited report as the rivers here in Washington state have been at flood stage for nearly a month. Rivers just dropped into fishable state last week and things look to be starting off very well for the Wynoochee river. With a release of 172,000 smolts, plus 3 salt returns from the previous release year, the Wynoochee looks to be really productive this season. In the last 3 adventures, on the river, we've had 4-6 hookups each day. I have availability right now. This season will close on after Febuary 15th 2026, so there is limited time...

Winter steelhead

Spring chinook salmon is on fire in the Columbia river gorge.
