Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: May 29, 2026

June is almost here and there are plenty of reasons to get out on the water right now!

Interior lake fishing continues to produce, with chironomids still accounting for lots of fish, while mayflies, damsels, sedges, and leeches are becoming increasingly important as trout settle into their early summer feeding patterns. Closer to home, local bass fishing has been providing consistent action, and many fish are now moving into the spawn phase.

On the river side, the first signs of early season coho are beginning to show up on the Cap. Conditions remain low and clear, but anglers who time things right around tides and low-light periods are starting to connect with fish.

For saltwater anglers, the excitement is building with hatchery coho opening on June 1. Now is the perfect time to get gear organized, stock up on a few proven producers, and make sure everything is ready for the weeks ahead. With coho, lingcod, rockfish, and crabbing opportunities all on the menu, there is no shortage of options as we roll into June.
