Pacific Northwest, Puget Sound Fall Fishing is underway, with lots of every day action coming and going at Fishermen’s Terminal to the Ballard Locks for a drop and lift into the Puget Sound. The October fog has been extra thick this fall season with lingering fog mornings that have turned into all day and night fog soup layers that make for some hair activities as boats move about in the canal.
