Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:3 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.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Port Angeles

Port Angeles sits on the doorstep of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, giving anglers fast access to deep, current-swept saltwater and a network of lakes and rivers spilling out of Olympic National Park. Seasonal salmon and halibut runs, combined with consistent bottomfish and trout fishing, make Port Angeles a versatile base for anglers who want both salt and freshwater options in a compact radius.

Salmon define the peak Port Angeles fishing seasons. Chinook and coho are the primary targets, with trollers working from Ediz Hook west toward Freshwater Bay and beyond. Early and late in the day, run downriggers tight to structure breaks and contour edges, staggering depths from mid-water to near bottom. Productive setups include flasher–hoochie combinations in green, white, and UV patterns, or small spoons and bait helmets rigged with herring. Watch your sonar closely for bait balls—most quality fish relate directly to herring schools pushed by tide change.

Summer into early fall often brings mixed-bag days where coho and pink salmon travel together. Lighter troll gear, 15–20 lb mainline with 20–25 lb leaders, improves action on smaller fish while still handling an oversized Chinook. When salmon are near the surface, swap downriggers for divers or 2–6 oz sinkers and long setbacks to cover water quickly. Point breaks, tide rips, and color changes off Ediz Hook are classic Port Angeles salmon holding zones during strong tidal exchanges.

Halibut and bottomfish are targeted on deeper structure toward the central Strait and offshore humps. Port Angeles anglers favor heavy spreader bars with herring, salmon bellies, or large octopus-style grubs fished close to bottom. Focus efforts around slack tide windows when heavy lead can hold bottom efficiently. Lingcod and rockfish stack on rocky pinnacles, reefs, and nearshore ledges; jigs in the 2–8 oz range worked vertically or cast and hopped along structure produce consistent action. Metal jigs, swimbaits, and large curly-tail plastics in natural baitfish colors are staples.

Shore anglers find opportunity from Ediz Hook, city piers, and accessible beaches. Casting Buzz Bombs, Rotators, or metal spoons into tidal rip lines connects with coho and pinks when runs are strong. Lighter surf gear rigged with small hooks and sand shrimp, clam necks, or pieces of prawn picks up surfperch and other bottom dwellers along cobble or sandy stretches.

Freshwater fishing around Port Angeles is centered on lakes such as Lake Crescent, Lake Sutherland, and smaller stocked waters. Lake Crescent’s ultra-clear water calls for long, fluorocarbon leaders and subtle presentations—trolled small plugs, wedding rings tipped with worm, and slender spoons run deep on leadcore or downriggers account for trophy-class trout. On more typical lowland lakes, spring and fall trolling passes along drop-offs with small spinner-and-worm combinations, powerbait off the bottom, or suspended slip-float rigs remain highly effective.

Nearby rivers and creeks offer steelhead and cutthroat opportunities when flows are right. Drift fishing with pencil lead and yarn, side-drifting soft beads, or float-fishing jigs and bait through walking-speed seams are productive approaches. Clear water conditions reward lighter leaders, small presentations, and careful wading to avoid spooking fish. Across all these fisheries, aligning your efforts with tide changes on the salt and stable flow periods on the freshwater side is the key tactical edge for Port Angeles anglers.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 4 wharf(s) in this area.

CP Wharf - 0.35646965254km , Morse Wharf - 0.38354760899km , Dolans Wharf (historical) - 0.78419757929km , Shingle Wharf - 3.10868585844km

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.

Beach Lake - 9.42556502082km , Freshwater Bay - 12.52592465274km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 2 main harbours in this area.
