Third day in a row in Tukwila and still the same results. More fish were jumping today than yesterday. It appeared as though most of them were Kings though. A few silvers and pinks were jumping as well but no bites. I tried spoons, blue fox spinners and jigs of different weights and colors and still nothing. Only one fisherman hooked up and he snagged a 16-18 lb bright King. He hooked it in the dorsal fin with his blue fox spinner. The fish didn't start jumping good until after the tide started going out. I started at the 405 bridge and ended up at the 112th foot bridge to finish. Nothing was jumping upstream at 405. I stopped in South Kent and Auburn on my way home to check out my spots for later in the season and it doesn't appear that the fish have made it that far upstream yet or at least they are not holding in the usual holes. I gotta work tomorrow. I may try again on Sunday. Good luck to the rest of you.

I have hit the duwamish 3 times since opening.
I have seen three pinks hooked and landed.
They are there but in very small numbers.

Yeah, it's been pretty dead. Nothing but casting practice for me the last couple days. I'm gonna hit another river or maybe go to Lincoln Park for now, while I wait for them to show up in catchable numbers on the Duwi.
