Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Auburn
Fishing in Auburn, Washington revolves around the Green and White rivers and a string of nearby lakes like Lake Tapps, Lake Meridian, Lake Geneva, Fenwick, and local urban ponds. The area supports salmon and steelhead runs plus solid warmwater and trout fishing, giving anglers legitimate options in every month of the year.
Seasonal patterns are driven by river migrations and lake temperatures. In spring, the Green River draws attention with steelhead and resident trout; cool water also pushes largemouth and smallmouth bass shallow on lakes for pre-spawn staging along rocky points, docks, and emergent weed lines. By late spring and early summer, stocked rainbow trout in smaller lakes and ponds near Auburn feed aggressively in the mornings and evenings, while bass move onto beds and then into post-spawn ambush positions around timber, pads, and man‑made structure.
Summer on Auburn-area lakes is prime for warmwater fishing. Work weed edges and drop-offs in 8–18 feet with soft plastics, jigs, and finesse rigs for largemouth, and use crankbaits or ned rigs along rock, riprap, and pilings for smallmouth. Early and late in the day, topwaters like poppers and walking baits shine around shaded banks and over submerged grass. Panfish such as bluegill, perch, and crappie stack around docks, downed trees, and brush; small jigs under a float or a piece of nightcrawler produce consistent action, especially for family trips.
Fall is the signature river season. The Green and White rivers near Auburn see runs of chinook, coho, chum, and on odd years, pink salmon. Focus on travel lanes: deeper slots, current seams, tailouts, and the heads and tails of pools. Spinners, spoons, twitching jigs, and drifted presentations with eggs or soft beads are all productive in the slightly colored flows typical of this time of year. Cooler autumn water also re‑energizes trout in local lakes, making them more willing to chase spoons, spinners, and small crankbaits again after the heat of midsummer.
Winter fishing centers on steelhead and resident trout. On cold, clear days, downsize baits and lures in the Green and White; small jigs, beads, and light presentations fished close to the bottom in slower seams can outproduce larger offerings. In lakes, work deeper structure and steep breaks with small jigs tipped with bait or slowly retrieved spoons. Carp and catfish can still be taken in slower backwaters and coves with static bait rigs, but expect tougher bites until water temperatures rebound.
- Habitat tips: On rivers, key in on inside bends, boulder fields, and any soft water adjacent to main current. In lakes, map out points, humps, and submerged wood with electronics or careful exploration; these high‑percentage areas consistently reload with fish.
- Presentation strategy: Start with faster search baits (spinners, crankbaits, twitching jigs) to locate active fish, then switch to slower, bottom‑oriented rigs (jigs, drop‑shots, slip‑floats) to maximize bites once you find them.
- Time-of-day: Dawn and dusk often produce the most consistent action around Auburn, especially on clear, pressured lakes. Midday success improves by fishing deeper or targeting shade, wind‑blown banks, and areas with stained water.
Combining awareness of seasonal timing with a focus on structure and current makes Auburn, Washington a highly productive base for anglers chasing salmon, steelhead, trout, bass, and panfish across rivers, lakes, and ponds.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 2 beaches and bays in this area.
