During the summer months, Seattle is the perfect location for great fishing trips in freshwaters and salt waters. But where should you go for good fishing? The Fox Rent A Car-team knows the spots that provide the most fish, the best opportunities to relax and to enjoy the beautiful nature close to the Canadian border.
Fishing in Seattle: Green Lake
Green Lake is a neighborhood in North Central Seattle, which also is home to a beautiful lake that is great for short fishing trips. Fishes you can find include catfish, rainbow trout, bass, and bullhead. Sometimes you can even catch a carp.
Fishing in Seattle: Duwamish River
The Duwamish River is part of the Green River that goes through Washington State and empties into the Elliot Bay. You can come here fishing for pink, sockeye, bull trout and sea-run cutthroat trout. Studies show that some of the fish is unhealthy to eat, so you may want to limit your trip to fishing only.
Fishing in Seattle: Hidden Lake
Hidden Lake is located North of Seattle in Shoreline. It is in a very beautiful area and a great spot to relax and enjoy being outside. You can catch Rainbow trout here, other fishes you can find are rather small.
Fishing in Seattle: Washington Lake
Washington Lake is the huge lake between Seattle and Bellvue, WA. You can find a whole variety of fishes here, such as different kinds of salmon, bass, and trout.
Fishing in Seattle: Angel Lake
Angle Lake gives you great opportunities to fish for Rainbow Trout and Kokanee salmon, as well as Yellow Perch. The Lake is located close to Sea Tac airport, yet due to frequent restocking allows you to make a good catch.
Fishing in Seattle: Echo Lake
Echo Lake is located between Shoreline and Edmonds. It is a quite small lake where you can catch Rainbow Trout and Yellow Perch.
Fishing in Seattle: Union Lake
Union Lake is located between the neighbourhoods of Capitol Hill and Green Lake. Often, salmon swim through this lake on their way to Washington. Lake Union is close to the Highway 5, so its easy to reach. You can find bass, yellow perch, crappie, and catfish here.
Fishing in Seattle: Puget Sound
Salmon and Halibut is what you will find here at Puget Sound. The Pudget Sounds is a bay that has many channels and branches, so you will definitely have room for a nice fishing trip without hitting someone else. Fishing is possible year-round.
Fishing in Seattle: Bitter Lake
Bitter Lake is a Trout lake, located on the Broadview/ Bitter Lake neighbourhoods. Trouts are being put in the lake every spring. Other fish you can catch are sunfish, bass and brown bullhead catfish.
Fishing in Seattle: Star Lake
About 20 miles South of Seattle is Star Lake, a lake that has Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch, Brown Bullhead and Largemouth Bass. The lake is pretty small so you will have to deal wish other fishers.
Fishing in Seattle: Haller Lake
Haller Lake is home to the Rainbow Trout, Largemouth Bass and Yellow Perch. It is in close proximity to Bitter Lake, so if one lake is too crowded, go to the other one. Haller Lake is partially private, but it has two public access areas that allow to you get onto the lake with your boat.
