Nickbell , the chum fishing in the upper green is kinda like the puyallup pink fishing was . When the schools are coming up the fishing is hotuse green and red yarn and corkys with like 5' -6' leader and you shall slay them good luck!

10/27/2010 11:28:00 PMDo you think chartreuse yarn and red corkies will work? Because those are the only colors I have on me at the moment.

10/28/2010 3:21:00 PMF.Y.I.; Jake Dogfish.. According to the 2010/2011 Sportfishing Rules Pamphlet, pg. 41, Green/Duwamish states; "from the S. 277th Bridge to Auburn-Black Diamond Rd. Bridge...is OPEN for Salmon Oct.16-Dec. 31st". "From Auburn-Black Diamond Rd. Bridge to 1/2 mile downstream of Tacoma Headworks Dam...is OPEN Nov. 1-Dec. 31st". I follow regulations and do my research out of respect for our sport.

10/28/2010 4:30:00 PMJake Dogfish good point- just to clarify as snake pointed out, it is open up to the Auburn-Black Dmnd bridge (which is the last of the 3 bridges going upstream). So technically you can fish upstream of Hwy 18 bridge and be OK (just a little upstream obviously).
Good point to bring to people's attention in case people head out there (to fish up to the top bridge but not beyond). And good point Snake7676 for giving the exact verbage so we are all in the clear when fishing.
Oh ya, chartreuse/green is a great color for chum IMO nickbell. Not too sure about red.
