Hey you guys think your talking to a ROOKIE HERE or what  :chuckle: :chuckle: Belive me they are thick and I have not been back for a couple days but its on my mind for this evening , I did get 3 kings this morning but they were dark so I cut them loose .... The SILVERS are weeks early this year and that could be why not counting the low water and how clear it is ...Right now I like 8lb test line with the little bitty half & half dicknite ...So I will head that way in awhile ...keep you informed ....And Tyler C if you live on the skagit and you can not see fish jumping then You Best Get Some Glasses  :dunno: :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Where do you see them jumping? and where did you catch your kings?

There is getting to be a good amount in the Stilly also. I like the dick nite also because I just use a little trout rod, and it is a blast!!!

Yeah I am legal as hell when I have to turn fish loose .... :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: All the fish I got today were hooked in the arz hole ...No Sheet ...had to cut them loose ....I watched 20 orientals pack out 40 fish yesterday and no wardens to be found but I guarantee if I had just one they would hang my arz off the barbed wire fence  :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: I wanted to take a picture so bad to share but I had to hold back  :bash: :bash: they literally had them on a rope and the line was 20yrds long all with 15 to 30 pounders floating on the water ....Hopefully they will start bitting eggs again but they are so frickin spooked when guys walk in the water its basically jerk a pray ... and hopefully it is in its mouth somewhere  :dunno: :chuckle: ;)

Spinners are my go to lure.  Dick nites can be very effective as well.  I use a Shimano Senora 4000fb so a trout rod wouldn't suit me well lol

I wanted to take a picture so bad to share but I had to hold back  :bash: :bash:

Why did you have to hold back  :dunno:

I like both rivers, but I think I like the skagit a little more also because I can duck hunt on it  ;) I love the Skagit so much that I think I am gonna give it a visit tomorrow morning  :chuckle:
