Thompson Creek?
Looked in the regs and the WDFW website. Evidently this place doesn't exist. But it's on a map. Does anybody know if it's legal to fish there?

RE:Thompson Creek?
Prob not, there are a ton of "salmon" streams here in Kitsap that aren't listed either, but you can't fish them. Best to call WDFW. BTW, where is Thompson Creek?

RE:Thompson Creek?
Thompson Creek is down near Yelm on the Fort Lewis reservation. It's just before you hit the Casino headed south on Yelm Highway/501(?). You go down some backroad and it's a little hole in the wall on your right. I went down there and threw out a Mepps Spoon and hooked into one, but it took off under a fallen tree and snapped my line. It felt like a good fish.

Check page 31 of the new regulation:
We have adopted a new management strategy that offers additional protection to stocks in streams draining into Puget Sound or the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The basic rule in these waters is that all rivers, streams, and beaver ponds are closed to fishing unless they are listed in the following tables in the Puget Sound and Strait Rivers section of pamphlet (see pages 33-48). These tables detail ALL of the fishing opportunity in these drainages. Areas open to fisheries are presented by river system unless the waters drain directly to salt water. All other waters in these drainages are closed to fishing. We have provided a map of these watersheds to get you started on locating an area where you would like to fish. There is also an alphabetical list of open areas (see following page). Remaining westside rivers and all eastside rivers are listed in the conventional format and still fall under the statewide seasons, unless otherwise noted.
