So, I have been down on the Puyallup since Tuesday. I haven't touched a fish. With the last high water, all my holes changed or filled in. I wasn't even going to fish, but then I remembered I am a fishing freak so I headed out. I went to 116th st as usual. I went to a hole that the shore moved back about 30 ft. That is the best hole now. I walked up to the top and began the "cast and step" routine About halfway down I may have missed a fish, but there is a ridge underwater and I may have just hung up on that. Just when I was thinking I was wasting my time, I hit a fish a colored up coho but I punched it. I decided it would be time to shoot some video, since I had a fish to show. I am new to the video thing, so I'm not sure what I'm doing. After 1 cast, I stopped filming. Little did I know that a couple casts later I would land another fish. It wouldn't have been in the picture any way. I fished for one hour and had a limit of coho, That is a pretty good day. That is why I just grind out the long fishless days, it usually pays off in the end.

I posted the video on youtube. I tried to do a general overview. As I said they will get better overtime, with more experience. I only have a small tripod that basically sits on top of the rocks. I can't figure out how to find the video on you tube. This is the link, but I can't get it to pull up the video http://youtu.be/V0yNgAQWwTk I put it as Puyallup coho. It may take a couple days.

Nice coho for December. On youtube you can search for Puyallup coho, and modify the date to this week and it comes right up. not a bad video either.

piranha, great share & nice fish (didn't know silvers were still in the Puget Sound rivers--especially looking good like those)! Nice production on the video!

Thanks Piranha! The video came up just fine for me. I will confess that my long trail of skunks persuaded me to hang up my rods. I lost my passion and drive to get out there. Your success tempts me to hit the rivers again. Thank you.
