Please pardon my ignorance but I'm not sure what a "tule king" is. I was fishing Bouy 10 last weekend and some of the guys on the VHF radio were talking about them. It sounds to me like they are some sort of an inferior grade of salmon........is that true or are folks being finicky about their fish. Where are these fish headed to spawn, or are they scattered in with all of the other "good fish"? And, if they really are nasty fish, how do I tell them apart from the good stuff.


I have fished the Clay Banks in Tacoma all my life and all of the blackmouth and kings that I have taken would rate "mighty fine" as table fare, so I am a little stumped.

thanks
