Enjoying Nature's Bounty
« on: August 19, 2011, 08:47:25 AM »
Fished the Puyallup....Caught limit of Pinks in the last 3 days....2 hours of fishing with friends before going to work in the morning....yesterday was in the PM...it doesnt matter what gear you use, tons of fish in the river, I saw 4 kings landed. I am hoping to land a Hatchery King...I will keep you updated....If you love catching fish, go to the Puyallup. It is so much fun. Below are some of our pictures. Enjoy.

Fished the puyallup for the first time yesterday. I couldn't resist after my buddy hooked 24 and landed 8 in two hours. I fished from 6am to noon hooking 23 and landing 7. It was definitely worth the drive. Saw at least one fish on at all times up and down the river. I'm pretty sure I'll be back after that experience.

Caught 2 Pinks yesterday after work. Hooked 6 but managed to land 2. I saw 2 Kings pulled both hatchery. I am going back this afternoon to catch more and hopefully hook a King for myself. Its sunny out, lest all go fishing. :IBCOOL:

My son and I went out fishing yesterday after work. We caught our limit in less than two hours :IBCOOL:. He reeled in his first Salmon this year. It was quite a workout for my 5 year old but we had a great time together with pictures to remember it by. Take a child fishing, a quality time well spent you and your child can remember for the years to come. Greatest fisherman alive according to my son is his Dad...mission accomplish :tup:

HA HA! Thats funny! I was looking at the 2nd pic thinking DANG look at all the people! Seems strange the Puyallup is so full of fish and the Skagit and Sno are still slow - you'd think they'd kick off 1st?? I thought the fish came from up north and headed south? Guess not....
 
Thats sweet Big Mike! Glad you are doing well down there - that is SO COOL that you took your boy out and got him on the fish. He will remember that forever. I still remember fishing with my dad as a kid and getting some nice trout. Thanks for sharing the pics and hope you get into a FAT king you can keep!
I aint superstitious - cuz its bad luck!
