Puyallup and Cabon Rivers ? - 10/09/02 01:30 AM
I'm new to this web site and new to fishing in general so please forgive the ignorance.
After living in the NW for more than 25 years I started fishing 3 weeks ago. First trip was with my 2 boys to the Puyallup and we took home a small, but nice Silver. Since then I've been up to the Carbon at various spots. Hooked several fish and lost a few too. I've seen many fish taken but now seems a bit slow. Have the Silvers come and gone? Has the weather held the fish from coming up the river in which case we may yet see better fishing?
Just a side note. While on the Carbon, having been there for hours and no luck, a couple of obviously experienced gentlemen pull up right next to my father-in-law and myself and immediately reel a nice fish in. Next thing you know the other guy hooks a fish and hands his pole to my 5 year old son and they land a nice fish together with some effort.
My hat is off to this gentleman. My son talked for days about his fish and is always ready to go if I talk about fishing. Thank you. I now have a great fishing partner thanks to your generosity
