Today's Seattle Times said 50-60 fish caught at Reiter on Tuesday. Sounds like a lot to me; anyone there Tuesday who can confirm?

I heard from a buddy that fished today and it was asses and elbows the worst he's ever seen it. Said it was worst than blue creek, but saw a ton of fish caught and limited himself fairly quickly going 2-4.

I was there on Tuesday and counted over 20 fish hanging in the trees as I walked out at 9:30 AM with a limmit. I'm sure by the end of the day there were 50 - 60 fish caught.
Cheers! SA

Yeah, there are a bunch of other rivers producing a handful of fish that you dont have to stand belt buckle to belt buckle sizing up other guys to catch! hah.. Sounds like a hot place to be.. I'm sure if you get there tomorrow, you shoulda been there today! I hate following hot reports.. Almost have to be there that day and find out for yourself! I've found that people that follow hot reports usually end up chasing fish that WERE there before they all got caught! =)

While fifty guys is more than I want to fish with (by about thirty-five guys!), folks who have fished more than five years will tell you that fifty guys is chicken scratch for Reiter.
Back in the '80's and '90's, up to about '95, it wasn't unusual to see the parking lot full, with cars parked up the driveway damn near back out to Reiter Rd., and another thirty trucks on the highway side.
There were people arsehole to elbow from the tailout to the pipe, and that's about 400 yards...plus another couple dozen down on the Cable Hole just below Reiter.
'Course, those 200 guys were fishing over 1200 fish every day, rather than the 75 or so fish that are there now...
Ten to fifteen feet between guys? Man, back in the day there would have been two or three more guys between everyone there now...and guys casting over each other's shoulders as they piled on at the creek three or four deep.
As far as crowds go, now is "the good ol' days"!
Fish on...
Todd

What's the show now at Reiter? Is it a still a bobber show, or is it back to drift fishing terminal gear?
I'd fish Reiter now. Would sure beat sitting here at work.

Parker,
I haven't been there in just over two years, but two years ago, it looked like Lk. Washington during Sea Fair.
One of the most classic pieces of driftfishing water in the state, and not a square foot of it free of a float...
Fish on...
Todd
