Puyallup River fishing setup

[ddh162]

ask as many questions as you'd like to...that's how i learned, and continue to learn.

[HATINTHEKAT]

how long of a leader? and what pound test for the leader and mainline?

[ddh162]

@HATINTHEKAT the leader should be one foot longer than the clarity of the water. If you can see 3 ft. into the water, your leader should be 4 ft.

I'm rarely going over 5 ft, except in extreme combat fishing.

[ddh162]

Your lead should be clear, for sure.

I use bright green mainline so I can see my line as it travel down river.

[jnewton1989]

Does it matter if your line is clear or green?

[tfxbillet]

thanks for the toothpick idea, gonna "secure" my corkies right now!

[ddh162]

It's one of the most highly visible colors under water. So yes. This year, and every year for the most part.

[TheKeaton87]

is pink the color this year?

[ddh162]

Try the 5th st bridge in Puyallup at sunrise.
