King Salmon

Just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice on when the Kings start running in the Puyallup? I caught a few pinks about a week ago and would like to get some kings.

Thanks all!

Tight Lines.

RE:Nitro RC?

I used to. Only problem is that I ran out of places to use it because of all the houses that were built in my area. Depending on what type you are getting, you will be limited to parks, back yard, or the beach; but even then some of those places mentioned have noise restrictions. I had a TMAXX, one ...

RE:First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

I have three pink jigs and pink buzz bomb. I was originally going to do that with my bait-caster but I may just try it with my spin-cast too. After all, I love a good fish fight. Trout rod is a 7' graphite 2piece. Ten pound test on the spool.

RE:First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

I have an 8.5' graphite rod, 12# mono-filament line, medium action. Regarding the weight, I already purchased the ball weights, I used to use snubber's when I fished for Kokanee. The weight is free-floating on the line though, attached with swivel and a bead above the barrel swivel. What about using...

RE:First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

Got the leader length. I thought 6' was a bit too long, I'll definitely shorten it. What about using a swivel on the main line to attach to a barrel swivel? It seems like it would be a lot easier to change tackle that way. But is that too many connections that can break? I generally use ball bearing...

RE:First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

Any area of the river that you know of that is easier for bank fishing? Also, does F&G use gps coordinates to determine the end and beginning of each fishing area?

RE:First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

I understand the weight issue, more weight for faster flow, less for less. Regarding the leader length. I guess I am trying to get a fish or two. Does length really matter? (In fishing leaders:) ) Another thing, how far up stream does one cast? I used to do a similar tactic with just split-shot and ...

First Year Salmon Fishing (River)

After several years of debating with myself and questioning if I would really do it, I decided that this year is the year. I want to join the madness that is Western Washington Salmon fishing. I think I may need to check into Western Hospital though. I have several years of stream/river fishing expe...

RE:Boat Rentals?

Hey GPC, Yeah, I live in Auburn so really any lake close to that area. The most I am looking to drive right now is about two hours travel time. We went to Tanwax on Sunday. I caught three small bass, and three small crappie but unfortunately the kids didn't get a single one. There were a couple of s...

Boat Rentals?

Is there any lakes that rent out boats? I want to take my two sons crappie fishing or just to catch anthing because the dock fishing is just not cutting it for them!
