Being new to the club and especially new to fishing for salmon from the beach, how does the morning fishing before the picnic work? What time do you show up? Where do you fish? What flies?

High tide on the 3rd. will be around 5:30 am. I plan on getting there a bit early perhaps around 6:30. (That's way early for me, but will see.)
You have a couple of options. I like right below the bunker at Ft. Casey. You can park at Ft. Casey and hike acoss the field, (stay to the left) climb up over the bunkers and find the path leading down to the beach and fish right there.
Any clouser will work, (coho love green) but attached is one of Scott Williston's go to flies. However, how you fish makes a different as well. Sinking tip line and fast retrieve. Look on the internet for coho flies and you'll get the idea. Make sure you weight the fly.
Was at Ft. Casey last night. Fish are staring to show so plan on hitting the high tide tonight at 5:00pm
Tip. You can fish the beach just South of Ft. Casey, (Ebey's Landing) but wind is problem Last night was a case in point. Any questions give me a call. 253-653-8217
