1972 plunking with my gramps in the Rowell's hole on the lower Puyallup. It was a furniture store just West of Howard's drive in on River Rd. Later, when I started drift fishing, that stretch to the weigh station in low water was hot just after high tide. Caught a lot of fish out of there over the years. Minutes from where I grew up. In 1883-4 season when state wide showed record returns, I caught over 100 steelhead just out of the Puyallup. I was in college at UPS, living at home fishing everyday, limiting out and releasing lots. 10,000+ were harvested that season making the Puyallup top in the state. I think back and wonder why I filled a punchcard +? I was part of the problem, but that's how it was then. Currently never could have guessed I'd see it this bad in my lifetime, where I can't even wet a line there any more. Would love to swing a fly with modern gear in that stretch today.
