Most Pugetropolis areas open July 1 for salmon. Places like Elliott Bay have geographical and date restrictions. You really have to know what you are doing as far as regs go. You almost need to be an attorney to figure out everything. Get yourself a copy of the regs and study the area you want to fish if you have not already. As far as "hot spots" go just look for other boats.

I know this is rather vague info but I cannot possibly give detailed info on such a large area. I would be typing all night. If there is one specific area you are wondering about I and other forum viewers may be able to give some advice. Just ask!
