Went down to the Puyallup for the second time. Started at about 7am, had several strikes but they got off just before landing (about 20ft out)! This happened five times before I finally caught my first one, or so I thought, big buck but my knot failed above the swivel! Need to check my knot more often I guess. Finally caught two decent sized hens, very clean, good fights, but it was difficult to get them in with the other fishermen just below me (not moving). Another frustration for me is the courtesy of casting. This was only my second time salmon fishing and some of the guys around me looked like they had more experience; however they casted when they wanted to. I never got tangled but came very close several times. All in all, I can't complain too much. At least no one was smoking! Had a fun day. Would like to get some kings now.

I know how you feel about the rude people down there.they feel if they have been there a few times they own the river.me and my family have been fishing the puyallup for years and this is the most rudest ive seen.when we go down if you hear someon yelling about people not getting out of the way or yelling about them being some part of the male anatomy it should be me.keep fishing and dont let them discorage you,there not always going to be there.pink season is fun but the people do get pink fever.if you want to try more for kings try the skok or nisqually there are more,most of the puyallup kings are in the carbon now.more of the silvers are coming in but now there will be a new croud and all youll hear is silver silver silver.they wont be in thick now for a week or so.but they are coming in.good luck and stay safe
