PSWOTF - Intermediate Women’s Fishing Outing - Pink Salmon Fishing at Dash Point Park - August 17th - See Details Tab
INTERMEDIATE EVENT Max 10 participants due to space constraints.
Tailored for women with some experience, these events offer opportunities to refine skills in a supportive environment. Instruction beyond sharing tips, such as fly suggestions, will not be provided. It will also be capped at 10 participants as there is often limited space to fish during this time. Due to this please sign up only if you are fairly certain you can make it, if you are unable to make it please let us know ASAP so we can open up the spot!
We’ll meet at the Dash Point Park & Pier at 5:30 am. A few days prior to the event we will send out an email with more details and any changes that may have needed to be made. Please watch out for an email from pugetsoundwomenonthefly@gmail.com.

Below are common flies for Pink Salmon. The fun thing about fishing for pinks - you get to use fun pink flies! The best fly for the situation depends on a lot of factors so your best bet is to have an array of flies in your set. Call or go into your local fly shop to find out what has recently been working for the waterway. Buying flies is always a great way to support your local fly shop!

Woolly buggers, Clousers - really any baitfish patterns in pink!
