Just tie them yourself. You should be able to put a humpy rig together for less than .25 cents.

Report from off Levee Road above Freeman this morning was pretty slow action. Lots of guys, not many fish for all the lines in the water. Left early- maybe it got better  :dunno:.

I did see a couple guys with fish on when I crossed the Clark's Creek Bridge about 9:00 am- maybe lower was better. There are minus tides in the morning this week- low today was -0.5 ft @7:30am . Could have something to do with lack of fish moving up :dunno:

One guy just brought in a 14lb king. Seeing mostly silvers caught today. Very few pinks. Down by the cannery now. Report back later.

Is there anything going on in the Sound up there? I have some business to do in my boat in Gig Harbor and in Tacoma tomorrow.

Haven't heard any great reports, but the guys who know what's what are getting a few fish.  Probably about typical for this time of year for kings. Puget Sound Anglers' derby over the weekend was won with a 19# king.

Pinks in any numbers seem late- but it should heat up any time.

According to a WDFW warden he says that the "horde" isnt even in the rivers yet. The ones that are here are just early runners.

That's about what I've been figuring. In a week or two everyone will have had their fill of pinks.

But I am getting a bit frustrated listening to all the reports about how hot the Puy is. Must be hit/miss because it sure hasn't been hot when I've been there.
