I think the Silvers are heading to the Kanasket Palmer hatchery? I'm not sure if it's still in operation? But they have to swim by IC.

Scratch that! I believe I'm thinking of the Steelhead hatchery. The Salmon Hatchery is down lower in the river, around Soos Creek (hwy 18)

Flossing highly concentrated hatchery fish. The new face of sport fishing. Seems to be where the majority of the freshwater effort is focussed anymore. Sad.
The worst thing about this IMO are the folks who take their kids out and teach them how to snag/floss for the meat instead of for the challenge of enticing a voluntary take by the fish. Our next generation of advocates for protecting the resource and carrying on the angling tradition.

The Soos hatchery gets around 40-50k hatchery coho back and the upper river hatchery (keta creek) operated by the natives puts them out too.
Keep in mind that you can not use bait either on the stretch from 277th to the Auburn Black Diamond Rd bridge until the 16th of October so eggs are a no-no.
I would also concentrate lower between Tukwila and Kent, you can use bait and hardware no problem and the fish will be much brighter.

40-50K seems a bit high based on the previous years escapement reports. Last year was 33K, but most years have averaged 10-20K coho back back to the Soos creek hatchery.
Lots of folks fish at the mouth of Keta creek catching zombie silvers and chums even though the regs clearly state you can't do so. SF

Yes, there a sign to the hatchery. Most fish are 5-7lbs out of there
