My dad would like to catch and eat a salmon, next time he visits. I don’t know what time of year that will be, so I’m guessing resident coho would be the safest bet. What’s the easiest way to get one of those?
Get on a boat and find them. They usually aren't hard to catch if you can find them.My dad would like to catch and eat a salmon, next time he visits. I don’t know what time of year that will be, so I’m guessing resident coho would be the safest bet. What’s the easiest way to get one of those?
This is in the freshwater anadromous form. Are you thinking of river fishing for salmon and does he care about size?

If it'll be anytime during the summer/fall I'd probably look at booking one of the Seattle based charters:

I wasn’t sure which forum to put this in. I assume salmon are best caught in the sound. I don’t think he would enjoy standing in line, with a bunch of other people. I doubt he cares about size; he’s pretty happy catching sardine sized trout.
I was going to recommend the Narrows for rezzies during the winter as well, but it's been a ghost town out there the last 3 years or so.It really is going to depend on the time of the year when your dad is here. That will depend where you’ll be able to fish in the sound.
Most of the sound is closed for salmon fishing except in the summer. The exception to that is MA 13, which is south of the Narrows Bridge and open year round. If it is winter, just go to the Narrows and look for jumping fish in the rips and toss amphipod or euphausiid patterns at them.
If rezzie fishing sucks, at least you’ll be in the heart of searun cutthroat central and can fish for them. Many of the best cutthroat beaches also produce rezzies.
Please note that in recent years the rezzie fishing in my opinion hasn’t been nearly as good as it used to be.
