snohomish humpbacks

[nocklehead]

Ive heard a rumor the humps are coming up the snohomish now......can anyone confirm this?

They are in there in pretty limited numbers, my gf and I took a look the night before last. The furthest up that we found fish was the hwy 2 bridge although we only went up about a mile past the Lowell launch, we launched at Everett.

Very limited numbers all the way up to the Skykomish mouth.....we have been out swimming and seen people illegally fishing/keeping them almost every day around 522 for about a week now  none cared when I informed them it wasn't open yet.... and the people in the boat last night knew but continued to fish.....

Our shop is just up from the boat ramp in snohomish (maple ave). the fish are not in the river yet.  How do I know? Normally Maple Ave is jam packed with boat trailers....not yet this year.

I saw on John's Sporting Goods Facebook page that some people are catching limits on the Snohomish and Skagit Rivers. Pictures don't lie. I know they are not in thick yet but if you get on a school you can catch a few anyway.

Im gonna try tomorrow, maybe near I-5.............. unless I get a bear tonight, then I'll be busy with that!

It is illegal to keep them that far up river but it is open for fishing.

[D-Rock425]

I understand what you're saying.

Thats like someone suggesting that i'm NOT coyote hunting with my .375 H&H (when I clearly am).  Coyotes can be aggressive if wounded, I want to make sure that doesnt happen.

My friend caught a sea-run cutthroat on a 2 1/2" buzz bomb yesterday

[mallard79]

Never said other fish don't bite them.....but what do most people use when "TARGETING" humpies..... that doesn't cover the humpies that we saw on stringers and on the bank......or maybe you can justify it.... 

[Kola16]

I was joking hence the """"""""    """"""" We were targeting humpies anyway...
