Walan Point is a rocky drop-off near Port Townsend, Washington, in DFO subarea 9, where the bottom falls away through mid-exposure water from roughly 260 to 660 feet. Chinook Salmon peak from June through August and Coho Salmon from June through September, with Chinook worked by mooching cut-plug or whole herring and Coho by trolling flashers, hoochies, and trolling spoons across the ledge. The rocky structure holds Lingcod, best in March through May and taken by jigging metal jigs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs, while Pacific Halibut move through the deeper water from March into July and respond to drift jigging with metal jigs or herring. Black Rockfish and Copper Rockfish stack over the same rock through the summer months, both reliably caught by jigging leadhead jigs and swimbaits along the face of the drop. The steep contour and hard bottom concentrate fish across a wide depth band, making it a spot that rewards adjusting technique to the target species.
