Headed down to the Carbon/Puyallup River(not sure which one, the 116th hole) after work. Arrived at around 6:30pm. Wasn't catching much of anything for awhile. People around me were getting a few. The guy next to me hooked a pig of a silver, but lost it as he was trying to unhook it.

I lost my setup 3 times. Was starting to get pissed, when tommytitan08 calls and asks how the fishing is going. He recommended I use a smaller weight, so I did. After that I managed to hook into a nice buck pink. Release him back, then caught a snag and lost my gear.

Maybe even a smaller weight? Not sure. But the fish were swirling everywhere, and were jumping. Even saw a HUGE fish jump, probably a big silver or king.

Left at sunset.

Better luck next time for me eh? Tightlines.

That is the Puyallup. There are several snags in there. Just learn where they are and avoid 'em.
