Welp, the puyallup wasn't as blown out as I thought it was gonna be. A little high and fast, but not too bad. Weather turned out nice too. Hit the water lookin for some steelies just below the carbon about 7:30 this morning drifting a pink jig with a worm and some shrimp scent. By 7:36..... FISH ON!!! She came out of the water about 3 feet. Bright chrome, nice sized. Had to have been a native but I'll never know seeing is how she won the fight, took me into a snag and snapped the line. Would've been a good photo op at very least. Worked down the river from there using different stuff. Had two more on but they just spit the hook. Lots of bites though! Took off about 2:30. Didn't get to bring one home yet, but I sure had fun tryin'!!!

It's crazy how smart those fish are. They always seem to know where they can run to snag you up. At least you hooked up a couple times.

Nice report...Most likely a so. prairie creek nate. The voights creek hatchery only got 27 fish back last year. Pretty lame.

Talked to a game warden about a week ago and he said there not raising hatchery steelhead anymore and that there going to instead double the silver smolts due to the river just not getn a good return.Between my fishing partners weve already hooked more fish than they got back at the hatchery last year this year .There are plenty in there this year dont know why but its been good .
