I work in Puyallup and occasionally drive down to the river during my lunch break in anticipation of the upcoming salmon run. Just staring at a river temporarily relieves my fishing "anxiety." Today I did just that. Parked at my usual hole and ate my sandwich. I decided to put on my shades and walk down to the river (holy cow it's changed since the early winter). Anyhow, in a deep pool I could see everything. Water was crystal clear and I thought I saw a fish moving around. I kept looking and to my amazement I saw what looked like two kings moving around slowly with the current. I'm not sure if these fish were downriver natives or spring salmon. If they were in fact springers, how cool. Made my day. Can anyone confirm this?
