well hit the old Nisqually to see if any of the early kings are coming up yet. Not so far for me. I fished up by Franks landing on sunday and did not see anything even roll. Had a man and son fishing on the concrete block down below the Landing, they caught a 14 inch rainbow and then had something grab their night crawler and never let loose. He lost a lot of line before it broke off.
Pretty fast water down there so could have been almost anything over 5 pounds.
I threw the book at the water, drifted, spoons, plunked with shrimp and more plugs, down by the bridge, nothing.
Of course i did fish late on tuesday, during low tide, but the water was still good and should have held some fresh fish with the rain on monday.

I was down on the nisqually today and seen a few surface.This early it will be alot of jacks.Another few weeks before the BIG BOYS start showing much.I know a few folks that are getting a few at the mouth but its not hot yet.

Osprey, I'm going to tell them your secret because nobody else will try it anyway. He pulls wool and emu feathers out of his boots to make rags & jigs. And the "hogs" just won't leave him alone! - RT

I was down there on the first. Saw two roll at the Handicap hole. No hook up, other then snags in the river.
