Excuse my ignorance, but are you referring to the mouth of the "Nasty" as being the Puyallup because the color is quite brown year around or is the Nisqually what you are talking about. I'm going to be spending some time at the in-laws the next few days on Eld Inlet and was wondering which direction to point my boat to even have a chance at some of these south sound fish. I've been doing o.k. off Vashon recently but rarely have any luck in area 13. Thanks for any help!
