Decided to go on a bike ride yesterday with some buddies. Checked the regs and south prairie Is open so we went took us s solid 2-3 hours to get there (from puyallup) riding our bikes. On our way there we passed the carbon and there was a dead what I thought was a salmon but I'm not sure (so I took a picture) Got to the creek and there were kids playing in it so we walked up stream fished caught what I think are juvenile rainbow (but I'm not 100% sure) we walked up the creek for awhile just fishing deep pools before and after the rapids. Great time. Biggest fish 7inches all fish released unharmed:)

I'm the picture the one on the bank is the dead fish we saw from shore and I thought it was to early for a fish to be up the river.

Picture of the fish we caught and of the stream.

Can't really tell but it might be steelhead or a chinook. It wouldn't be late for either of those two

Where did you start? I've wanted to check out that creek but I'm not sure where the Buckley diversion dam is.

I on' get refs either because the only Buckley diversion dam I can find is on the White River on the opposite side of Buckley from South Prairie creek.
