I was up there late June/early July for about a week. I chose the date based upon minimal tide movements. With minimal tide flows the waters weren't as rough as normally encountered and the fishing was quite good for halibut, rockfish, chinook, and some days red hot for silvers. The hottest salmon times are july on and that is also the most crowded fishing time. Awesome place! It can be really rough and windy up there but was basically pretty calm when I was there. I'll probably trailer up there again late June. May is supposed to be one of the best halibut months.
