Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
Last weekend my friend landed 2 chums on the sky below lewis st brigde and 2 weeks ago i realesed a 17lb chum onder lewis st brigde drifting green corky and yarn!
There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

Go find metzler park in the green river valley on Turkey day. Always chum holding there
Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
What oneshot said. A couple of years ago, I waded down from Metzler on T-day. About mid-day everyone left and I had the river to myself. Caught more chum that day than I could count. I caught one that was pushing 25 lbs. Best day ever for chum for me.

Simply not true. This place is not productive for chums.
just kidding. this place rocks. My only regret is I won't be in town on Thanksgiving to catch them. Metzler is one of my favorite spots.

Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
Where exactly is Metzler park? I'm a little familiar with the green in that area, but not exactly sure where that area is.
On another note, I did see a guy land 2 chums today around the golf course

Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
I hear its a small parking lot off the road and you walk in towards the river. Thats what Ive been told anyways. Its not marked on Google maps, but other online resources give you the exact address of this park.

Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
Chum are in high numbers this season. I heard from a buddy of mine that they are numbers wise as strong as the pinks were this year.

"Green/Duwamish River - Chinook salmon spawn throughout the Green River mainstem from Auburn to Kanaskat. Good viewing locations for wild spawning include Metzler Park (18737 Green Valley Rd SE), about five miles east of Auburn, and Flaming Geyser State Park, also on Green Valley Road east of Auburn."

Re: CHUM SALMON FISHING
Gee, thanks for the help. I also enjoy the research, but having driven that part of the river many times and not noticing it I figured a quick little description wouldn't hurt.oneshot wrote:Park name and river and area of river were given here.
