I talked to a guy named Old Ben Kinobi earlier today. He told me "There is no rain in the Puyallup or any of the areas around it. The run is in fact over. These are not the Kings you're looking for."

I made it my goal this summer to hit the puke at least once before school starts. I have never fished for salmon in a river before, so its a big deal for me. Unfortunately, school starts this thursday. Should go up there soon. I still don't have any waders either so its going to be even longer to get fishing.

I was there for 5 hours today and caught nothing. The water is really muddy right now from all the rain it probably needs a day or two to clear. I saw a few fish rolling when it started to get dark but only one guy out of about 30 caught anything.

Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

I just looked at a couple of other rivers, most look like they might be a little couldy with how quick they rose. Butr doesn't mean you can't catch fish.

not like the puke has ever has more than a foot or two visibility anyhow, still worth fishing it.
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.

Hit the puyallup for a few hours this a.m. before work. Man, it was high! Be careful out there. Lots of logs comin' downriver. Didn't get any fish but the guy next to me got a nice chrome silver. They're in there, and in the coming weeks the push should get a little heavier. Just gotta put the time in to get 'em.
When times get tough, just keep on fishin'!!!

Puke never has more than a few inches of visibility unless it's deep winter, and that's not when it's open anyway. The 'mud' is silt from the carbon and puyallup glaciers. Don't let it deter you.
