Silvers are thick in the Skagit ....

kings aren't legal below the dalles bridge thats all i was saying.

Not legal above either.

i know, i was just giving a reference point for next year.  you can't keep fall chinook anywhere on the skagit, but springers are a different story

Going to the Stilly this afternoon. I don't expect much, but it is worth a shot.

how'd you do kola?

[Kola16]

how'd you do kola?

I wish I could just go spearfishing  They were there, but they just wouldn't bite. Oh well. Thanks to Ripper, I have fish in the freezer 

[Tyler_C]

it's very frustrating when they're there, but won't hit anything.  makes me pull my hair out

[Gobble Doc]

When we get a big rain I will hit the Skagit.  Before the rain I haven't had great luck.

[Kola16]

I finally got one to bite  I didn't have my silver and chartruese dick nite, so I had to use a brass, and a half pink half white dick nite, both of which were wee's. I put on the brass dick nite, and I put it in front of these fish multiple times. Nothing. Then I went to the pink dick nite. WHAM. Finally, a fish out of the river......not. About 6 seconds later, it was off  All of the fish in that spot scattered. I just shrugged it off, but when I pulled up my dick nite, I noticed that the hook had been straightened  Oh well, thats fishing. I guess I will have to put a little bigger hook on next time

Nothing on the skagit this morning.  RAIN!!!!!

[Tyler_C]

Went 0 for 1 on silvers in the skagit... one followed me in and i saw it hit, i set the hook, my knot comes undone, and the fish swims off. SOOOOOOO frustrating

Kola 1st thing I always do is change out the hooks on the dick nites. Stay with the same size or it will ruin the action.

Silvers are thick in the Skagit!!!!! and they're biting too!!  Limited in less than an hour this morning at first light, had 2 others on, they were hitting a tiny gold hot shot.

[Tyler_C]

[Encore 280]

Heading for Hoquiam next week for 3 wild fish limts. 1 king, 2 silvers I do believe.
