Well for one thing you can catch the fish that the Indian hatchery is putting into the river. There's nothing stopping anyone from fishing the mouth or Commencement Bay is there?
I gaurantee some of those fish caught are hatchery fish.
Their hatchery is on a trib to the lower Puyallup down near the mouth, right off Pioneer. There aren't any hatcheries on the little Puyallup. All the fish in the river are either headed to the Puyallup Indian's hatchery, the Carbon hatchery or the Muckleshoot's hatchery on the White.
I don't know much but I do know that the Puyallup's have done far more for bringing fish back than the state has. They have silvers coming back clear up to Lake Kapowsin now. They've been working on that for years. They're taking salmon up above Electron and releasing them. Who knows how much more they're doing that no one hears about.
