To me the eating quality of salmon from the saltwater is much better than river caught fish. Plus I don't have to stand elbow to elbow with the combat fishermen on the river bank with crowded areas,tangled lines. snagging etc. Puyallup River is a zoo. And worse in a pink year. Fishing out in Commencement Bay is a much more enjoyable fishing experience. More room, negligible sublegal encounters etc..
