The Kings are THICK at Tumwater Falls Park. Enjoy the viewing soon.
I'm told they used to let people snag those fish at the falls. I bet that was a fun show....I have my 12' leader and black corky...
I remember when we were young and go down to Capitol Lake, throw in the ol' car topper, and troll spinners and such around the lake trying to catch those boots. Or fish from the now long gone bridge near the mouth of the river, tossing spinners or spoons. Ugly fish for sure, but they were a heck of a lot bigger than the native cutthroat trout. Didn't take much to entertain us country bumpkins in those days.
Never encountered a one armed fisherman as best I remember.Same here.
Sg, did you ever encounter the fisherman with one arm while you were down there?
The guy used to catch a lot of fish.

Sounds like the setup for a joke.Same here.

Very cool, thanks for the update !@Gyrfalcon22 Any day now they should release the final Enviornmental Impact Statement with decision of lake, estuary or hybrid (fall ‘22). Three options were brought forth and it looks like the estuary is the likely route.
ETA 7-13 years per project timeline.
Around 1974…when the King Tut Exhibit was in Seattle. We stopped and watched fish, thick as fleas, for about an hour.Quota was hit early and you can watch them all at the bottom of the falls. So many pools with fish, I’ve never seen it this thick.

With so many returning I’m guessing Percival has a few too if they aren’t already clubbed by tweakers. That’ll be Friday’s outing, nothing like looking for fish while armed to the teeth and tiptoeing around needles.
