Salmon Fishing Admiralty Bay by Whidbey Island

Salmon fishing is great up and down the breezy western shores of Whidbey Island. We fished from the shores of Whidbey Island on Admiralty Bay in the town of Coupeville. Salmon migrate along there on the way back to their home rivers, swimming through the eel grass beds and looking for food (or buzz bombs on fishing lines that look like food). Fishing is generally best within about +/- 1.5 hours of high tide. We kept going until we needed our headlamps, and our few catches were after the sun had gone down!
