I appreciated the responses I got last time I had a question so I'd like to thank all those who took time to answer. Now I have another question about a place I'm not familiar with: Twanoh State Park Any ideas about fishing there? Good walk-in? Bank fishing? What kind of rigging would I use. Second: Hoodsport....Chums in yet? Red or Green yarn this year? Spinners? Love to hear from you. Thanks again.

this is from the WDFW weekender report:
Chum are already abundant near the Hoodsport hatchery on Hood Canal, said Mark Cylwick, WDFW hatchery specialist. They began showing up the third week of October. The chum normally peaks just before Thanksgiving. “They’re running a little bit early right now, so that indicates we’re going to have a giant run or that things might peter out a little early,” Cylwick said. He described the chum as semi-dark with some brights mixed in. “Usually the fish are in pretty good shape out here in front of the hatchery because they’re still in saltwater.” he said. A creel check Oct. 29 on the Hoodsport shore showed 59 anglers with 42 chum. Anglers can call (360) 877-5222 for a recorded message about Hoodsport fishing conditions. To avoid competition with tribal beach nets, Cylwick recommends fishing on days other than Tuesdays and Thursdays, when the Skokomish Tribe has been conducting its fishery. The Port of Hoodsport will host a chum salmon derby Nov. 11-13.

I'm not so sure about Twanoh State Park, but definitely Belfair State Park....Was there over the weekend at my parents beach house...Huge schools of Chum and Coho jumping everywhere...I was using smallest green corky I could find with tad of green yard...Hook 4 in about 3 hours legitimately and snagged over a dozen...Only got one coho on a Hootchie Blue Fox combo...Have to work hard for those buggers...I believe it is call Mission Creek...It's on the left facing out of the park towards the water...Good Luck...Also no people there, they are all at Hoodsport...

Belfair state park is good for crab, twanoh is good for the smelt run, stick to the skok or hoodsport for chum

You might find some chum and the occasional coho or cutthroat at some of the creek mouths local to Twanoh. Other than that the area can be pretty dead this time of year. I'd go up-canal if I were you to the hoodsport/potlatch side.
