I'm pretty sure that means those are tribal fishing days then we fish W-Sthat's what it's been in the past.

Unless I missed something, the new regs mention nothing about the extra 2 Pinks.. on any of the rivers.. That means you can only get 2 instead of the usual 4.. I wrote the game dept to get clarification and see if it was a mistake, but havnt heard back from them yet.
Not a mistake.... 2015 run projection was 6 million for the sound.... this year is a whopping 1.2 mil or something like that for the whole sound, with the Puyallup getting the bulk. I was really looking forward to this run and these numbers got me really bummed about it. As well as the crappy schedule which leaves me only Saturdays to target fish and its a 2 hour drive. Honestly not even worth it for me. :dunno:

Where do you live that there aren't better fishing opportunities closer to home? Pretty much any direction 2 hours from Puyallup has better opportunities that time of year!

we're probably headed back into a cycle of more "normal" runs for the slimers.

I'm in Vancouver, but enjoyed it just for the experience. There is no run here that will convince my wife to throw waders on and grab a pole and go fishing until we went in 2015. She thought it was the coolest thing to be in the river with that many salmon popping up all over and bumping into her legs. I'm no salmon snob so a trip up there is more for adventure and visiting other areas than it is solely for fishing. I wouldn't drive up 2 hours just for pinks and go home that's for sure.
Yeah, I know there's all sorts of opportunity down here, and while we do fish down here. We're just looking for adventure.

Wading through all the zombie pinks and all the garbage the pink crowds leave behind is the worst part.
