Pink Report - What's Happening?

Though we are seeing more pinks (humpys) in the catches each and every day, the main push of fish is still out in the Straits and the Ocean. I still believe that we are still about a week away from the main push of pinks here in Puget Sound. Over the weekend we did hear of good reports coming from the western beaches of Whidbey Island. Though not everyone did well, we did hear from those that understand the Islands fishery that they in fact had good results. As far as the local beach fisheries go, I would have to say it is in fact very slow. We did here of a very odd fish coming from Medowdale Park and Picnic Point - like I said earlier it is still a week or so away.

If you are really wanting pinks then it is up to the Straits for you! We hear in the Port Angeles area that the Chinook fishermen are not very happy with the number of humpies in the area as they are having a great deal of problems getting their gear into the Chinook zones without getting a pink before they get there.
