Morning Of 9/1?

So , I guess the question is, do you launch from Waterways Park right next to 705/509, and negotiate your way through all of the other piers and docks, or do you go further towards the mouth and use Thea's Park? (Google Earth)  to me, looks,like the latter might be easiest.

BtW, if you want to go north to the mouth of the Puyallup, be sure to contact the tribal agencies and get permission as well as advice ( first timers). They were really helpful when I talked to them a few years,ago. Just stay out of the railroad rights of way and the construction zone since they're replacing the 99 bridge between Tacoma and Fife.   

Great looking fish!  Do you think the pinks get fooled by the large stormwater drains at the end of Foss dumping all that freshwater?
Good sized pinks this year too.  Two years ago was such a disaster...and the coho has yet to even really start!

That's a good question. I tend to fish that area first part of the ebb - I think a lot of those fish are flushing out of the lower river or staging the run. The puyallup ebbs with a very wide arc that's easy to tell by the water color contrast. Pushes the fish way out toward Foss. I like to put in at the little park there by the pier - the steps can definitely be a challenge!
