About the Puyallup River

The Puyallup River is in the Puget Sound region of Washington, near Orting.

Pink salmon are the main catch here. Anglers reported an average of about 33,000 harvested pink salmon a year from 2004 to 2022. The best months are August and September, and the catch peaks in August. Coho average about 6,000 a year and peak in September. Smaller numbers of Chinook, chum, winter steelhead, summer steelhead and sockeye are also reported. These figures count harvested fish only, not fish caught and released. Washington catch figures follow the WDFW report year, which runs from April to March.

    About this data

    River levels, weather, tides and catch statistics shown here are gathered from public sources and are accurate to the best of our knowledge. We cannot guarantee that any figure is current, complete or error-free.

    Always confirm current regulations with ODFW or WDFW before you fish. Seasons, bag limits, gear rules and emergency closures change without notice and are not reflected on this site.

    Forecasts and gauge readings are for general planning only, not for navigation or any safety-critical decision. Catch statistics are historical harvest records, not a prediction of what is running now.
