About Chibahdehl Rocks

Chibahdehl Rocks is an exposed rocky pinnacle off Neah Bay, Washington, rising through 20 to 80 feet of water on the outer coast. The structure holds Chinook Salmon from April through August and Coho Salmon from May through September, with both species taken by trolling whole herring, spoons, flashers, and hoochies over and around the pinnacle. Lingcod peak from March through May and respond to metal jigs, swimbaits, and lead-head jigs worked tight to the rock, while Pacific Halibut move through from April to July and hold on adjacent bottom for drift jigging with leadhead jigs and swimbaits. Pacific Cod concentrate in the colder months from January through March, taking metal jigs and shrimp flies near the base of the structure. Rockfish, Cabezon, and Wolf-Eel round out the resident fish drawn to this hard-bottom feature.
