Puyallup River King Fishing

Post by narrows11 » Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:51 am

Hey guys, so this will be my first year of fishing the Puyallup for Kings. The only other River type fishing i have ever done is the Minter Creek Combat fishing for Chum. So i could use all the tips or pointers i could get, like good spots, types of lures, colors of yarn/corky. Anything would be great! Thanks! :)

So eggs probably won't work too great then? I'll probably just stick to cork/yarn and maybe toss a blue fox a few times.

I plan on throwing some big flashy hardware. But will be taking eggs just in case I find a nice deep pocket.
