I know this is a new fishery. I know you can park at the hatchery. But what I don't know is: are there other bank access areas? Are there ample puppies in there too warrant the trip Thursday. The Sky is a little slow and I need a dog fix REEEEEAL BAAAAAAAAD! Besides I have a new rod that needs breaking in!

Any info on this fishery will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Well, I can give you about the best info of anyone. I deliver out there and know the guys at the hatchery. There are two entrances. One is by the hatchery and the other is a small public access in the middle of private property. Pretty much the whole creek is privately owned. Your best best is to fight the hords and park off by the hatchery and hike in like the rest. Luckily for me I have access to alot of the private beaches there .

Well, the run is scheduled to come in pretty soon. Usually around mid month. It's still a bit early but there could be some chums in there. I know there's still some silvers there and the river was PACKED full of silvers a couple months ago. I mean homeowners were going out and putting the fish back into the water is was so packed. But quite literally it's like another Blue Creek. I couldn't believe all the guys who showed up to fish on Nov. 1st. There were NO fish but they were all out there hitting the river.

Good luck, you never know. They may be there. It's the type of river where they're there one day but not the next. It's hit and miss. It's only about 100 yards, if that from mouth to hatchery. Check the tides. At low tide there is NO creek. It's a mere puddle.

Chum Catcher,

Try give the hatchery a call at 253.857.5077. They have been more than happy to give me updates on how many fish are entering the trap. As of late last week things it sounded like things were slow. I was told mid-month should be hot.

Thanks much for the info. It looks like I will hold off a week or two. Guess I will have to chase'em around here tomorrow. I will give the hatchery a call beforehand.

Again thanks and many a tight line.
