I'm sure no expert, but I believe all the developement on the Puyuallup is a good place to start lookin. Its all houses clear to Orting. The river never clears up any more.

We used to be able to watch them take the bait at Alderton. Now in the middle of January you can almost plow it, it is sure to thick to drink.
