Chinook or King Salmon as they are often called, are the largest of the Pacific salmon. In Canada, Chinook may be referred to as "Springs" and/or "Tyee". These fish start their migration into the Puget Sound as early as May. The season typically starts in the Puget Sound on or around June 1st and goes well into September. Average size is approximately 15 lbs. to 20 lbs. but fish weighing in at 30 lbs. are not uncommon.
