Fishing near Port Angeles, WA

Set on the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the foot of the Olympic Mountains, Port Angeles anchors one of Washington's most varied fishing scenes in Clallam County. Puget Sound–bound salmon funnel past Marine Area 6, while glacier-fed Olympic Peninsula rivers and the 624-foot-deep Lake Crescent round out a genuine three-mode fishery — saltwater, river, and stillwater.
