I don't know what the deal is, guys are beatin them up on the lower river, but ther is hardly any fish at the top. I fished Sat. Sun. and today (Tues). Today i saw one fish hokked for about10 seconds and one dark one tied up on Sunday. Iv'e fished from top down to the bike track. I work swing shift in Fife. so I drive the river daily. On Monday about every other guy had a fish and they were rolling everywhere. Maybe another week or so before they are stacked, like the lower section.
On sunday I saw a canoe flip trying to float the river, luckily they had two other canoes with them and a drift boat was close by also. We were able to throw them a rope and get the canoe back over to them so they could get back in. The canoe had mom, dad, two boys and a little girl, the girl was pretty shook up and cold but OK. The kids had life jackets on. So remember, PLEASE always be careful and expect anything to happen.

Does the lower river have any places where we can fish from the bank, or are waders a must? I have two daughters in there early 20's who want to go, but I'm the only one with waders. Also do jigs and buzz bombs work here or is it all drifting corkies with long leaders? any help would be appreciated. tight lines.

There is the rare spot on the north side (levee road?) where you can fish from the bank, but if you hook anything big you're in trouble since that normal requires walking around with it a bit.

thank you bionic one ! sounds like I need to buy waders for the girls.we are going for a scouting mission with poles in hand. I'll post a report tonight and let you know how we did. Also heard they are killing them at Lincoln park in West Seattle from the beach. Might have to check that out too.
