Who's braving the Puyallup in the morning? My son and I will be there in the a.m.

We went from 7am to 9am. The river was crazy high. Not many people hooking fish. Tons of people but we were able to find a decent spot and had a good time.

I know it rained some the day before but they clearly opened the dam. The amount of trees and debree floating down river was amazing. I'm 6'4 and I was standing in belly button deep river 20ft off the bank in an area that on low tide should be gravel bar.

I was tempted to go but memories of trying to fish after heavy heavy rain cleared my thinking and I stayed home.  Going to hit 11/13 tomorrow and maybe the puke on wednesday when it opens back up.  Not sure depends on how the salt fishes tomorrow.  13 hasn't been good to me this year.

Caught a few pinks yesterday in 11, kept 3 for smoking, also killed two kings. Lost a couple pigs, one right at the net! 🤮

Should I take a break from steelhead fishing and try to catch some pinks off the beach somewhere? Been intrigued by them but since I’ve never done it I don’t want to drive 3 hours for nothing. Not sure when prime time is

The Puyallup was a complete *censored* show. I should have known better only stuck it out for a couple hours caught lots of pinks but finally couldn't handle it anymore kept the next 4 females i got and bailed.

Same here. Started fishing just after first light and we were thick in the fish.  But after 1.5 hours, I'd had enough of the supidity.  I've fished the Puyallup for 20 years and never seen it as crowed as it was Saturday.

WDFW is at the Mukilteo waterfront writing citations for those that didn't get the memo.

If you're going to do it, now is the time in the salt .  If you want to just catch them but after they are spawning you have several weeks they'll be in the rivers..

We fished 11 yesterday and limited the boat jigging/buzz bombs..  did get there trolling but was too much fun for the wives to spot fish and cast.

Fished in 10 midday Saturday with my buddy and we got our limit of 8 pinks in about 3 hours.

Green flashers and pink hoochies with herring. A lot of action.
