RULE CHANGE!!!


Page 42 - Puyallup River (Pierce Co.) from City of Puyallup outfall structure across the river from the junction of Freeman Rd. and N. Levee Rd. to Carbon River.
Error: The pamphlet incorrectly lists ALL SPECIES - Aug. 16-Nov. 30: night closure, anti-snagging rule, and barbless hooks required.
Correction: The rule takes effect on Aug. 1. It should read: ALL SPECIES - Aug. 1- Nov. 30: night closure, anti-snagging rule, and barbless hooks required.






The lower river opens on the 15th. The tribal hotline was updated yesterday, and nets will be in the river for 6 hours on Sunday the 15th.

Oh ok. I was wondering about that, it didn't seem right to me.

lower opens the 16th not 15th

yeah sure only 6 hours....they were only netting on Mondays on the skok....well nets are still out and will be out 24/7. WDFW knows about it and is "working" on taking action. it's to bad the game wardens can't issue them tickets for it. it has to be handled at the state lvl

[steeljunkie]

i was down on the skok monday,i mett this kid called soks, any way he was telling me all the locals started pelting there weights at the indians because of there nets being out on the sunday or something, there is alot of hostility there i guess, kinda funny

[scott080379]

yep that was the problem last year as well. This is the reason why they were only going ot net above the 106 bridge on mondays and closed that section to fishermen like us on mondays to help with these problems. but not going to happen if they are netting 24/7

thanks for the clarification funny the WDFW officer i talked to at the skok said other wise....oh well...i hope it is only this week....

[bionic_one]

Hope it doesn't affect the fishing too much. I took tomorrow off to head out there. :pale:

[scott080379]

I fished it today....didn't bring home any fish but hooked into A LOT!!!

[flinginpooh]

You can still catch fish bionic it just might take a lil while for a legal keeper. Only in the mouth there. It can happen but they are fighting hard and alot of broken leaders. I was fishing 20lb main and 15lb leaders and was breaking a leader here and there.

[bionic_one]

We were there for a long time today. There were nets everywhere. During two hours below the 106 bridge, we saw two fish. The water in that area isn't deep, and you can see everything. I'm pretty bummed about it.

On the way home we checked Nisqually for about an hour, nothing there either. There weren't even nets out.

The Puyallup still isn't happening yet either, we checked it out too.
