Northwest Fishing Reports

Its raining over at the Puyallup! The fish should be coming in grab your gear and head out!

I talked to a guy named Old Ben Kinobi earlier today. He told me "There is no rain in the Puyallup or any of the areas around it. The run is in fact over. These are not the Kings you're looking for."

LOL. :geek:

I can do the rain, but the wind is what sucks.

I concur!

I can do wind as long as it is below 10mph

I made it my goal this summer to hit the puke at least once before school starts. I have never fished for salmon in a river before, so its a big deal for me. Unfortunately, school starts this thursday. Should go up there soon. I still don't have any waders either so its going to be even longer to get fishing.

Just got home from Mt.Rainier,crossed the Puy,a decent crowd on hand down there.Not overpacked
by any means but certainly more anglers down there than a day before. I would have stopped and chatted
but my son was sleeping and decided to push on home. Jens,you gonna be my river guide this year?:-" haha

Hit me up on FB later. Several rivers are on the prowl.

Good call!

Im hittin it tomorrow,anyone else goin????

I was there for 5 hours today and caught nothing. The water is really muddy right now from all the rain it probably needs a day or two to clear. I saw a few fish rolling when it started to get dark but only one guy out of about 30 caught anything.

I just looked at a couple of other rivers, most look like they might be a little couldy with how quick they rose. Butr doesn't mean you can't catch fish.

not like the puke has ever has more than a foot or two visibility anyhow, still worth fishing it.

On my way out the door to the skok.

Hit the puyallup for a few hours this a.m. before work. Man, it was high! Be careful out there. Lots of logs comin' downriver. Didn't get any fish but the guy next to me got a nice chrome silver. They're in there, and in the coming weeks the push should get a little heavier. Just gotta put the time in to get 'em.

Thx for the info SalmonSlayer, i was gonna hit it yesterday but my fishin buddy got sick so i didnt make it out.

Puke never has more than a few inches of visibility unless it's deep winter, and that's not when it's open anyway. The 'mud' is silt from the carbon and puyallup glaciers. Don't let it deter you.

Spent a few hours there this morning. Not a bit for me but saw 3 hooked and 2 netted behind the kmart in puyallup.
