November's Here

November has arrived!  Though the weather has finally turned to the blustery, rainy Fall that we usually expect there are still many great fishing opportunities for those who are willing to brave the elements.  Here's a few things that come to mind for November!

Blackmouth fishing here in Puget Sound.
Coho fishing on most of the Puget Sound rivers.
Chum salmon fishing on the Skykomish.
Chum fishing at Hoodsport, Chico Creek, Kennedy Creek,  Mud Bay and various other spots.
Crabbing here in Marine Area 8-1, 8-2 and 9.
Cutthroat fishing on Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish.
Perch fishing on Lake Washington.
Trout fishing on many Puget Sound Lakes.
Salmon fishing on the upper Peninsula rivers.
Salmon fishing on the Grey's Harbor rivers.
Saltwater steelheading for winter run steelhead off the western beaches of Whidbey Island. (Yes, it has started!)
Winter Steelheading on a great many coastal, Puget Sound rivers and Columbia River tributaries.
Squid jigging off many central and southern Puget Sound docks.
