When do the chum start showing up in the sound creeks?   Seems way earlier than Hood etc.  COurse kinda hard to photgraph with all the fisherman.

late october/early november.

they get gnarly and rotten quick though...not sure what kind of photo's they'd make. the wallace river right at the hatchery mught be a spot to consider there for them or for silvers, but thats waaaayyyy up river and the fish will be in rough shape by the time they're there.

The spill way right behind the Leavenworth fish hatchery(Salmon Hatchery). Also the spillway in Tumwater canyon!!!

Speaking of Leavenworth, is that the fish ladder right along Hwy 2, by the old dam?

[Slider]

yes

 If you get up this way, the barrier dam fish ladder is a good spot, also Issaquah Creek in October can be decent.

Yep, Barrier dam. Or you can just tag along on my boat and get pic of jumping salmon. As long as you don't mind them haveing hooks or lures in their mouth.
