First thing I'd recommend is checking the regs. You can find them online if you want - and see any emegency updates...

Second, while I don't know much about the Puyallup river steelies, when someone on this boards tells you to go elsewhere, it oftens means that you may do well to check it out. An overly emphasized re-direction may really be a signal that you've found someone's favorite 'secret' spot. That may not be what the guy above is trying to do - but just keep that in mind.

Best bet - check the regs. If it's open, go check it out. Then you can fill us in on the details! (or if you prefer - make it your own 'secret spot'...)

Good luck!
