SF, Thank yuo for the info. I never actually got up far enough to fish the Blue Holes. So ,I never rode the tram. I was kind of small and young at the time so I never it up that far. Only heard about those holes from other fishermen. We didn't fish it too many times. I fished the Duckabush and the Skok more often. We lived in Tacoma but My dad grew up in Aberdeen. So, after my dad finished wiring the house on the Canal, we fished either in Grays Harbor or locally in the Puyallup and Nisqually. Those two rivers were excellent back in the day. Nisqually was really good all through March and April. Puyallup was really good earlier in the season. And good also in March for native fish. I caught lots of nice natives in the Carbon in March. Living in Tacoma, we could catch all the steel head we wanted staying local and fishing those two rivers. We would fish Grays harbor for something different. Humptulips was our favorite then. The memories and the stories of steelhead caught and big fish lost could fill up a book. Sadly, those days are gone.
The Puyallup and the Nisqually have been closed for a long time but the bios I have talked to say that the native steelhead runs in those rivers have been recovering which is nice to hear.
