Title: South Sound Creek Trout
Post by: pickardjw on May 14, 2025, 07:52:39 AM: Any recommendations on a creek/river around the Tacoma area to catch a few dinker trout this time of year? Either bobber fishing, swinging panther martins or flies.

Preferably, somewhere that's not tweakerville.

Context: taking a nice lady out Sunday morning. Don't need a honey hole, just a pleasant spot with a potential to catch something. All my creek trout fishing knowledge is more off Hwy 2.

Most creeks, if they open at all, don't open until the Saturday before Memorial Day.

Sent you a pm.

Thanks @Bullkllr we may check that out.
