The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates that some 6.8 million pink salmon will return to Washington’s Puget Sound rivers.

Additionally, the Fraser River in Canada is expecting a return of some 14.5 million pink salmon, many of which will be accessible to Washington saltwater anglers as they migrate through northern U.S. waters.

WDFW recently built a web feature to help anglers take advantage of this distinctive opportunity. The website provides insights into fishing pink salmon in both marine and freshwater areas, helpful fishing tips, suggestions on access points from both rivers and coast, and information on where and when the pinks are arriving.
