Green river
« on: June 01, 2016, 03:11:29 PM »
Well with the green open in Saturday I am planning on trying to catch my 1st steelhead on my own, I have caught a couple but with guides. I want to learn the river because it's close. I have been doing a lot of resherch but still not very good info as its all old and I know the fishing is not how it used to be, I don't want anyone's honey hole but just some pointers. I have cured eggs, shrimp, and jugs and spoons ect. Thanks to all who help out in advance.

My advice would to leave the jugs at home so you can concentrate on fishing. :chuckle:

I thought none of the Puget Sound rivers would open until the feds sign off on the state-tribal agreement. Check the WDFW site.

Yeah, Green is closed right now by emergency rule.  https://fortress.wa.gov/dfw/erules/efishrules/erule.jsp?id=1797

I haven't seen anything from WDFW that indicates this but I would think it will reopen for summer steel in the next couple weeks.  It will close again in September and October though so the summer steel fishing will be cut short.

Its going to be a tough year for fishing.  If you don't already know (you should) salmon fishing in the Puget Sound area is severely limited from what we are used to.  Read this and weep:

I know I've lost it, let me know if you come across it

 :yeah:

Nearly all Puget Sound rivers are closed and will remain closed until further notice.

When the deal was announced last week, it was implied that approval would take a minimum of two weeks. Nobody really knows for sure.

So the way I am reading it is that it's closed to ALL fish species?

Why close the entire river to fishing, why not just close it for salmon?

Believe it or not the river is not closed... I fished it last Saturday right above the hatchary as well as 15 other cars. You gotta be there early in the morning if you want to catch something or all the holes will be fished out by the time ya get there. I showed up at around 8 and guys were leaving with their limits. I would Put a jig on a float and let the magic happen... good luck to ya!

No official date set, sounds like they will open as soon as it gets approved. The gal on the phone I talked with yesterday said they are hoping by the middle of the month.
