Puget Sound Lingcod
2026-05-01 05:00 - 2026-06-15 19:00
Lingcod fishing stands out as one of the most popular bottom fishing experiences in Puget Sound. The season typically runs from May 1 through June 15. During this time, anglers target lingcod around rocky reefs, ledges, and underwater structures. These fish are aggressive and powerful. As a result, they provide both a challenge and a rewarding catch. Therefore, many anglers look forward to lingcod season each year.
