I would do the Duwamish.

i went sunday morning, there were alot of kings still lurking aroumd.

I went to the Wallace last night after work as I live in Gold Bar. The river was up about two feet from the last time I was there on the opener. On my second cast with bobber and jig loaded with Coho eggs cured with borax, brown sugar and salt, I was done with my float and went to retrieve and BAM, there was a fish! This fish fought a little and then swam up river parallel to my position and jumped. I thought at that time it was a bright Coho Hen, a large bright Coho hen. This fish fought well and I let it as I have 10 LB main line with 8 LB leader which I don’t like but was setup for low clear water. After several laps around the pool this fish was landed with the help of two other fishermen who grabbed the fish once I got her in close enough. This was a large native Steelhead Hen, bright with just a touch of color. The fish was unhooked and released. I left home in such a hurry I forgot my cell in my work stuff so no picture, I also forgot half my gear and did have leader or glasses to see to tie on again ...............so much for being in a hurry. I saw another topic: “senior moments" maybe I should be posting there. One of the other fishermen had caught two hatchery Steelhead that were also nice looking fish although not near as big as the one I caught.

Is the weir still in place went last sat. and saw one coho trying to go up past the weir! No luck for the fish!!! This weekend should BE HOT Fishing!

went there monday morning, daammnn its blownout, at least the hole i was in, hopefully this weekend is gonna be killer, cause since its later in the season, the fleet of coho should come in full force, those feesshhh. last season i was catching coho on the wallace starting september 18....super lame this season.

Haven't gone so I have no report. Just can't get away.

damn j.o.b.!!

I was gonna play hooky today and see how the sky and wallace were shaping up, had to stay home with my boy on tuesday though because he was sick, cancelled out my hooky fishing day.. :(.. I did take that day to go get some new waders and fix the winch on my boat trailer at least.. ready to put both to use!

Went on Tuesday , it was high and colored but was dropping fast and had maybe 1ft of visibility but coho are in... Stood next to the intake just to see if fish were coming up and saw 30 coho and 5 kings shoot up the pipe in 5 min... Hiked down to Sherman hole and hit 1 tinted coho and a 6-7 lb steelhead in 30 min, nothing after that and it started raining again so I headed home...... Be interesting to see it this weekend if it doesn't blow out again

yeah the impending rain isn't looking good... just when everything is dropping to some good levels its about to blow up again...

are you guys fishing around the hatchery or more by the mouth?

Mostly from Reese road up stream.... The mouth can be good but I prefer to wade a lot and move to find fish

hatchery got a butt load of fish this week, last week 0, this week.. A LOT!

I guess it's time to play hooky..... :-D

I'll be up Saturday morning rain or shine... I'll find somewhere to fish whether it be the sky or the wallace

So as I was reading...You basically just pull up to the hatchery park in the parking lot and go east from there till you find a bridge with a WDFW sign and walk across and keep going east until the public fishing sign?
