You may want to consider going up the W side to avoid at least some Pugetopolis traffic. Unfortunately I never fish from that side so I don't know the launches.

I would really like to catch some pink salmon in full color. Not to eat. Any suggestions when and where??

I wish that Nisqually River had more access points upriver..... there looks like a possible float from McKenna down to the canal discharge....any intel?

Uhhhhmmmm not a good idea. Part of that goes through Fort Lewis and Tribal lands... may not be able to do those stretches..

The Snohomish, Skykomish and Skagit will be rotten with humped up pinks for a few weeks starting now. They're all floatable. Lots of pinks in the Puyallup and Green/Duwamish, but the access points tend to be really crowded.

Lauren, just got word from former coworker, Coastal Cutthroats are jamming the west side of Hood Canal and Case inlet if you'd like to try that.

Thanks!
