Fished bark hole (I think thats what they call it) Friday afternoon and I wasn't alone. If you've ever been to that hole, you know that you have to hike down a 50-75 ft. hill to get to the river. There's not many places you can go without hopping in the river. Well, right on top of the hill a cougar paced around watching my every move. He finally left, but I was scared to leave until 2 hours or so after I no longer saw him. Anyways, always take a partner when fishing wooded areas like that. If not a person, then a .44
Did catch fish though............
p.s. if you want to stay safe, the Puyallup is loaded with crome bright silvers. Don't worry about spooking em either. Visibilities about 2 inches......
