Puyallup Tribe of Indians Some pictures of a great fishing spot where you can see close to a half-million fish, but you can't fish for or catch them yet. One of these days I hope to catch a couple of these fish, with a fishing pole, before they return to the river to spawn. Puyallup Tribe of Indians Diru Creek Hatchery  This facility has released more than one and a half-million fish per year. This year, 1998: 67,200 steelhead, 240,00 White River spring chinook, 380,954 fall chinook, and 990,690 chum were raised and released by this facility alone. All of the Puyallup Tribe Fish hatchery facilities raised and released a total of 2,274,636 fish for all of us to enjoy. All of the Puyallup Tribes' gill net fisherman caught less than one-percent of the fish released from Diru Fish Hatchery facility released last year, 1998.  Look at all them future dinners. Let us hope and pray that a large percentage of these fish will return to the lower Puget Sound waters, so all of us fishing people in Washington may catch a few of them for our freezers. If you catch a really big fish, put it on the barbeque and give me a call. I really like to eat fish and would appreciate your personal invitation.  Approximately 67,200 steelhead were released from this pond May 1998. After one species of salmon is released then the fisheries staff get to scrub the ponds before the next school of fish is placed in these ponds.
