Great pics Nate! I guess I will have to wait another day or two to hit up reiter again. On a side note I am not sure why anyone would even try to fish in that... but to each his own I guess.:-k

hahaha, yea, it was pretty scary. there were surges in the water, and waves on the shore that were like a foot tall. I brought my pole,but I went to take photos, not fish.

Shhh, its a secret. WDFW just reopened the top four miles of the Stilly, including Fortson. I know, I know, Forston is often crowded but it aint bad during the week. The run must be decent if they got all the fish they need. I'll be hitting it tomorrow.

Midway thru dec and they have winter brood stock quota? Yeah Id agree with Matt on this closure. Man the puyallup though. I hope there was no steelies comming up river today. I was driving on river road and they was netting the heck outta that river. I seen 12 boats and several 200-300 gallon totes. And the fish was just being tossed around. They put a killing on this river today.
More fish please!
