Spokane St Bridge / Duwamish mouth Open for fishing?

Post by viveksnh » Wed Sep 14, 2016 4:54 pm

Hi all. New member here and a beginner.
Wondering if the Spokane St Bridge (also called West Seattle Trail bridge) pier open for fishing? I have been hearing that some people have started fishing there but the folks at Outdoor Emporium told me that it isn't open yet.

Check the regs and the hotlines/web site.

If and when the Spokane bridge opens just take note that it is combat fishing at the least. Its best if you speak a few languages. Make sure you have a ring net. Some guys have ring nets but I prefer my own gear. You'll have snaggers and lots of them.

This is part of Area 10. Area 10 is closed to all salmon fishing until 11/1 (according to the regs). It appears to be open for other types of fishing.

Not open for salmon right now. I actually reported a few snaggers last time I drove by there. Whoever is fishing that pier for salmon is doing so illegally
