Types Of Salmon
There are typically 6 types of salmon. Chinook, also known as King Salmon is a popular type that can be found in the Puget Sound waters. King Salmon is also the tastier and flavorful out of the bunch.
Coho, also know as Silver Salmon is another popular type that roams these waters. Coho salmon is slightly smaller with more orange-red flesh. They are very popular in the culinary community and have more of a familiar salmon flavor.
Both Coho and King Salmon fishing is now open for booking.
