3,232-acre bay near Sequim. The water tops out around 126 ft. The depth chart is built from real agency bathymetric surveys, so measured depths remain distinct from source interpolation. The channels, holes and drop-offs come from the source data, not a distance-from-shore model. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Sequim Bay maps at 3,227 acres behind 13.2 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 19% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 4.4 mi with a 2-mi widest point. Its nearest charted neighbour, Dungeness Bay, is 9 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for chinook salmon tight to the bank in 5 to 40 ft. They move out to 50 to 120 ft in summer and finish the year down in 30 to 90 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Creek inflow: an inflow / creek mouth around 13 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (13 ft) | Trolled spoon (orange/gold), Stickbait off planer boards |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (126 ft) | Flasher + fly (green/white), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (13 ft) | J-plug (glow), Flasher + fly |
| Winter | 30 to 90 ft | midday | Break off the point (78 ft) | Small spoon on a slow troll, Stickbait deep |
Come spring, look for coho salmon tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 30 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 60 ft. Start at Creek inflow. It's an inflow / creek mouth holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (13 ft) | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (78 ft) | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (13 ft) | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Deep basin (126 ft) | Small spoon, slow troll |
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. Creek inflow is the standout, an inflow / creek mouth at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for spring cutthroat trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Creek inflow (13 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
