Back in the 84-85 exceptional return winter season it was almost the case. Every stretch was full of crowds because the catching was good. That's how the season catch totals were over 10,000. You will never get away from participation in an urban area when fishing is good. Maybe that's one of the reasons the group of PS rivers that are closed will stay closed?

Nisqually is a prime example. If they opened it even 1 day it would be a complete clusterfluck.

Oh, and on a historical note, the site for the launch used to be called the "Poor Farm" hole on the Puyallup. At least that's what my grandpa called it. It is the buildings across from the now BMX park entrance and next to Knutson's farm. I guess a type of hospital at first then a place homeless could stay during hard times. One of many nicknames for fishing locations years ago.
