I have always gone behind the Safeway on Main Street..

but Iam always down to check deferent areas out...

Oh yes boobies . If the silvers are running strong you can be lazy and plunk down on Levy road. If I wan't to actually do something I hit 116th street or go behind the restaurant in Sumner. (Can't remember the name of the damn place.) Only thing I hate is the damn combat fishing, so I bring my 10' mag tapper rod and stick out past everyone else's little rods :haha:

What about along the bank on the fife side down off river road/levi road?...

and no on the Steely Green river run..

That road is good for plunking. Toss it out, crack a drink and wait for your pole to wiggle. When the silvers are running I can limit out in about 30 minutes :awesomework:

Yep the 512 area does get packed, but you would be suprised on how good the "bad" spots are. You just need to know how to pick good water and not just follow the hurd. I have sat in the bad spots and just hammered the fish :;

i always do good in orting on the carbon most of the fish are pretty gross by the time they get up there but i just like fishing i dont really like to keep them up that far unless they are still bright. try by the old bridge to bonney lake

burris401 · Aug 18, 2008

Lost a nice King down from the bridge Sunday morning.

I could see that it was a Native but would have still liked to get a picture. River was high and nobody was down there, was a total of 4 guys.

Not surprising. There hasn't been ANY rain, so I'd expect the fish to be holding in the sound until the river temps drop at least a couple degrees. Did you guys get any of the rain that rolled through this morning? If the mountains got some, and the river starts to cool down over the next day or two, expect the fish to start moving in shortly thereafter.

I'm hoping for some decent rain over the next couple days. Might be taking my grandpa down to float the Cowlitz this weekend, but we'll see how that goes.
