We have fished for Salmon in this Fishing Hole coming up on 40 years now. Back in the day alongside many of our Hunting Washington friends, it was one of the rivers best kept secrets.
(In my opinion it's been one of the best holes for Fishing Salmon Runs on the Lower Puyallup.)
It used to be that only the privileged few could reach this hole by crossing private property and you really got "The Inquisition" treatment by those who felt they "owned the river" if you weren't recognized by them right away.

But times have changed for the better and now there is an easy Public Access to this Secret Hole,
if you know where to look.

Park alongside "Houston Rd East" at about 129th Ave East, (just west of "The Old Cannery" Furniture Store) in Puyallup.
The secret is not to fish where you park, but walk or ride your bike downstream on the Pierce County Dike Dirt Trail, about a third of a mile to the hole at 119th Ave East..... This is where the Schools will be waiting.
There is plenty of room to target the large numbers of Fish that still stack up in the Hole.
These "Silver Bullets" fresh out of the Saltwater (with Fish Lice still hanging on), keep drawing me off my Couch and like so many Salmon Seekers of the past, we continue to make some outstanding catches.
Looking forward to seeing you down there again as the run gets back into full swing.
(I'll be the one with a big smile as I'm tossing it out toward the far bank.
