Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:21 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Pasco

Fishing in Pasco, WA centers on the Columbia River and nearby Snake River, giving anglers access to deep main channels, rocky points, backwater sloughs, and current seams that hold fish all year. The stretch around Pasco is known for consistent walleye, strong smallmouth bass numbers, and seasonal runs of chinook, coho, sockeye, and steelhead, with bonus opportunities for sturgeon, catfish, panfish, and carp.

Seasonal patterns drive success. Late winter into early spring is prime for trophy walleye staging along channel edges and drop-offs; fish slow with jig-and-minnow combos or soft plastics on 3/8–1/2 oz jigs, keeping contact with the bottom in 20–40 feet. As water warms in late spring, walleye slide shallower at dawn and dusk, and crankbaits or bottom bouncers with worm harnesses shine on long trolling passes. Summer brings stable flows and excellent smallmouth bass action on rocky banks, riprap near bridges, and island points; use tube jigs, Ned rigs, small swimbaits, and topwater early and late in the day. Fall cool-down fires up both walleye and smallmouth again, with fish feeding heavily along breaks and current seams.

Salmon and steelhead fishing in the Pasco area focuses on travel lanes in the Columbia and Snake. Migrating chinook and coho respond well to trolling plugs, rotating flashers with spinners, or cut-plug herring in the main river. Pay close attention to current edges, inside bends, and ledges where fish pause during their upstream push. For steelhead, target softer seams, tailouts, and the edges of fast water using drift gear, bobber-and-jig setups, or swung spoons and spinners. Dawn, dusk, and overcast days often outproduce bright sun for these migratory fish.

Habitat variety is a major advantage around Pasco. Deep main-channel troughs hold walleye, sturgeon, and wintering fish; mid-depth flats, humps, and submerged structure produce mixed species in spring and fall; and shallow weedlines and backwaters attract panfish, perch, and bass in summer. Use electronics to map out subtle drops, rock piles, and transition lines from sand to cobble—these are reliable fish-holding features. Where the Snake and Columbia meet, focus on converging currents, eddies, and breaks behind islands or man-made structure.

Effective techniques and tactical tips include:

  • Cover water for walleye with bottom bouncers and spinner rigs, then switch to vertical jigging once you mark tight schools on sonar.
  • For smallmouth, prioritize rocky structure with some current; fish parallel to shorelines so your bait stays in the strike zone longer.
  • For catfish, anchor above deep bends or drop-offs and soak cut bait or scented baits near bottom, especially at night in summer.
  • When salmon or steelhead are moving, keep gear just off bottom and stagger depths to find the main travel lane.
  • In clear water, downsize line and use natural colors; when flows are high or water is stained, bump up line size and switch to brighter patterns.

Whether you launch from public ramps along the Pasco waterfront or fish from shore near bridge approaches, parks, and riprap, the Columbia and Snake around Pasco offer diverse, high-percentage water. Dialing in seasonal movements, reading current seams, and matching techniques to depth and clarity are the keys to consistently productive fishing in this mid-Columbia hub.
