There are some good fishing opportunities within an hour drive time. I agree with the others on fishing the Carbon and Puyallup for salmon/steelhead. If you want to have some fun catching crome bright kings, fish the Carbon River opener Sept.1st for "Big Kings", of course you will have to enjoy the company that salmon fishing brings out this time of the year. There is pleanty of good water on the Carbon if you are willing to explore and get away from the typical crowded areas,,,,,,,,,,,hatchery access, etc. The steelheading opportunities have really dwindled on the Green and on the Puyallup. The quality of the hatchery fish are pretty megor. However, the Green and the Puyallup do get a decent run of quality Natives. Just when the fishing gets good on both rivers, they close it to all fishing. The silvers that run in these rivers are tiny, 3-5 pounds average. Like I said though, the Kings on the Carbon average 20 pounds. My buddy took one home last year that was over 30 and was a chromer. The meat was still very red......BBQ material. Welcome to the area.
