I was visiting family on the Left Coast this past week, and I understand that they stocked the river in my absence.  The closest I got to fishing was to watch some guys on the Tolt River, near Carnation, WA.  I didn't see anyone actually catch anything though.

Before I left, (and before the stocking) the fishing here had actually picked up a bit.  I had a little luck using nymphs.  Ben K. reported that he had gone out one day with his heart set on catching a bunch of smallmouths, but all he got was trout.  Bummer, Ben.

I heard that the fishing has been a bit slow recently, perhaps due to the new fish taking some time to get acclimated.  They should be there, though, so I plan to get out in the next day or so.
