Washington

Washington's 9 public access points span the Pacific coast and rivers and streams, across 6 counties. Across them, the species anglers most often target are Rockfish, Lingcod, Barred Surfperch, and Chinook Salmon. Each is scored live on water temperature, tide or river flow, moon phase, barometric pressure, and weather. Always confirm current size, creel, and season limits with the Washington state fishery agency before keeping fish — we flag any species whose regulations we haven't yet verified.
