RECORDED:71 °FISHING: Good
The Skykomish is in perfect shape, 50+ water temp 5-6feet vis. Steelhead # have been improving each week and should get getter through mid July. With the water temp up its time for me to switch to the floating line, my favorite way to fish for Steelhead.
RECORDED:72 °FISHING: Fair
The Skykomish river has dropped into great shape, 3' vis & 5800cfs. swinging standerd wet flies on type 3 tips close to shore is the best bet. Numers will pick up as we get closer to July.
RECORDED:59 °FISHING: Great
The Skagit and Sauk rivers have been fishing great. Swining flies on type 3 and 6 sink tips with larger patterns has been the ticket. The skagit has still been low and clear, but they have been releasing water again on a daily basis = brings more fish in. The easterday rains brought the Sauk up and fish in. With the warm temps comming the Sauk should going up again.
RECORDED:50 °FISHING: Fair
Thew Skagit and Sauk have been ultra low and clear. We need a good long rain spell to get some steelhead in the rivers. The dolly/bull fishing has been fair with some nice fish coming to hand.
RECORDED:43 °FISHING: Great
The fishing has been great on the Skagit river. The flow has been up & down from the dams, whitch seems to be bringing in fresh fish daily. The visability has been good when the Baker isnt puking. The Sauk river is supper low and crystal clear. Type 3 & 4 tips low and slow with a variety flies has been producing fish for friends and I on the Skagit.
RECORDED:35 °FISHING: Good
The Skykomish is in great shape!! 2,400cfs 3+feet vis and 38-39 degree water temps. Winter natives are starting to show up. Low and slow with type 4and 6 tips is the name of the game right now. Theres still some hatchery fish being caught arond Reiter and on the Wallace river. So get out there and catch some Steelhead.
RECORDED:54 °FISHING: Fair
Well T-day is over and that means its time for hatchery brats. The last high water brought some in and reports from Reiter has been fair. Fish are being caught every day, not in great #s yet. Water temps dictate sinktips down at their level. Every rise in water should bring in new fish and we should see better fishing as December moves on.
RECORDED:56 °FISHING: Good
Well with the Skykomish blowing out, its time to tye some flies. Once the river dropes, fishing should bee RED HOT!!! Swinging ESL's on light sink tips hase been working good and a dead drift presentation with hot pink or chartruse flies works great as well for the Chums. There has been a few winter steelie's caught already and this flood should bring even more!!! So watch the flows and get out there once its down around 5,000cfs.
RECORDED:73 °FISHING: Good
Steelhead are still moving in and conditions are prime right now! After losing some fish lately, i finaly landed my first steelhead on a skated fly for the season!! Sea run cutts have started to show in the lower river,and provide fantastic streamer and dry fly action on lighter rods!!
