I’ve been using ReelCaster for about a month and I love it! Having all the conditions listed together is really handy and makes deciding when to go a no brainer instead of checking multiple apps and sites to get wind, current, sea conditions and tides. I highly recommend ReelCaster!

ReelCaster has completely changed how I plan my fishing trips. It brings together tides, currents, wind, swell, and water temperature in one place, then pinpoints the best times and locations to fish. It saves me time and gives me real confidence I’m on the water when conditions are ideal.

ReelCaster was very helpful in helping me figure out where and when to fish! I was lucky enough to catch a 7 lb Coho right off the beach. The info that the app provided was really helpful and it saved me the trouble of looking at multiple sources to figure out tides, weather, and regulations.

When to fish Edmonds

Each row is shaded against that species' own best month here, so a dark cell means a good month for that fish rather than a comparison between them.

  • Chinook Salmon. Edmonds (central Puget Sound, Area 9) sees Chinook peak in summer (mid-July through August) as maturing Puget Sound and Fraser-bound fish stage and migrate through, with the strongest abundance late July–early August. Resident 'blackmouth' (immature feeder) Chinook maintain a modest baseline presence through winter and spring, giving a secondary low plateau from December through June rather than a full absence.
  • Coho Salmon. Edmonds coho are dominated by a strong fall run peaking late August through mid-September (weeks 34-37) as adults stage off the central Puget Sound waterfront before entering natal streams. A minor summer buildup of feeding 'resident' and returning coho appears from June-July (weeks 24-30), while winter months are biologically empty as fish have spawned and juveniles remain in freshwater.
  • Halibut. Pacific halibut in Puget Sound's Central Basin near Edmonds (Marine Area 9) are a low-density stock that migrates inshore as water warms in late spring, peaking roughly late April through June when adults move onto local banks to feed before returning to deeper offshore/coastal waters through summer and fall. Winter presence is minimal but not fully zero, as a few resident fish linger in deep Sound channels year-round.
  • Lingcod. Lingcod are resident, structure-oriented year-round in Puget Sound waters off Edmonds, so abundance never drops to zero. The pronounced late-winter/early-spring peak (Feb–Apr) reflects males moving to shallower nesting rocky reefs to guard egg masses, making them concentrated and locally abundant, with a mild secondary fall bump as post-spawn fish redistribute and feed heavily.
  • Black Rockfish. Black rockfish are non-migratory, structure-oriented residents of Puget Sound waters near Edmonds and remain present year-round with minimal seasonal fluctuation in biological abundance. Slight aggregation shifts occur but stock presence stays essentially flat at baseline across all 52 weeks.
  • Dungeness Crab. Dungeness crab are resident year-round in Puget Sound near Edmonds, so abundance never drops to zero, but legal hard-shell biomass peaks in late summer (August–September) after the spring/early-summer molt when crabs have refilled their shells and grown. Late winter and spring show a dip as many crabs are soft-shelled and lighter post-molt, with harvestable mature abundance rebuilding through summer.

Fishing Edmonds

Edmonds sits on the eastern shore of Puget Sound, with 21 fishing spots spread across the inland waters north and south of the city. Lingcod peak from February through April, Pacific halibut run strongest from March into June, and Chinook salmon move through from June to August, followed by coho that hold from June into October. The spots cluster around submerged humps, reefs, points, and bluffs where structure concentrates fish across depths ranging from shallow rock to deeper bottom. Anglers work the lingcod here primarily by jigging over these rocky features. The fishery carries through most of the year, with spring built around bottomfish and summer shifting to the salmon runs.
