Whidbey Island Steelheading

Though we have been seeing some fairly good numbers of winter run steelhead on the Snohomish system now for the better part of a week it was only yesterday that we heard of steelhead being caught on the western beaches of Whidbey Island.  I have been surprised that it hadn't been turning out fish earlier, but after all it is fishing.  We heard yesterday that there were three hatchery fish taken off the beach at Lagoon Point.  All the fish were typical hatchery fish in the 4 - 8 pound range.  Though it was not an overly productive day on the beach, at least it was a very good day to be on the water with no wind and the sun out.

We should see the most consistent beach fishery for hatchery steelhead from now through mid January.

This is a very unique fishery as it is one of the few areas where steelhead are caught on a regular basis in the saltwater. 

We have everything that you will need to fish the Island.  We have rigged Bush Point Specials as well as all the components to build your own.
