9/21/2011 9:06:00 PMNo, if I had a son that into computers I'd have him troll the fishing forums for me and organize my photo and music archives leaving me more time for fishing! It really was a fat hen full of eggs, will cook her up tomorrow for dinner. Bob R

9/22/2011 6:34:00 AMAccess to bank fishing on the Nisqually is extremly limited, if you have military I.D. you can get access through Fort Lewis, which controls the Pierce County side of river from Mounts road upstream and downstream.You can park on Mounts road and walk in as well. There is bank access at 6th avenue, goggle map will get you there. I have access to tribal land so I don't have to deal with combat fishing. There is NO access through the widlife refuge.

9/22/2011 3:36:00 PMI keep hearing about a place called the tank crossing and was wondering where exactly it is down there? I usually fish at the military area but wanted to find some place new and possibly less crowded
Bob R
9/22/2011 3:55:00 PMTank crossing is on the highway to yelm that passes through the reservation. Red corkies and yarn and blue fox spinners seem to be the norm, good luck. bob r
