snohomish river pinks
« on: August 14, 2013, 07:26:18 AM »
Curious if anyone has been catching pinks on the lower river are spot opens this weekend. We have seen a few jump (not many) but last night there were seals  in the river we counted four by the boat launch at tenth street.so ready to watch my girls catch some fish before we head out for archery deer. Thanks

They should be there in catchable numbers by now. I haven't fished it yet but last week John's Sporting goods was reporting that people are catching them.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

My pops is a guide and has been fishing the skagit its been hit and miss there...he only fishes upper snohomish by the confluence and 522 but that doesnt open till 16th...from another forum i hear lower snohomish has been very sporadic. Everything else Ive read says next week it should get better and will be hot end of the month!

All right all you bank maggots (I say that affectionately since I've spent my time on the bank and will do so as well).......this rain is gonna do good things. Give it a few days for the freshwater to tell the humpies to get a move on, the water to clear up, and you are gonna be bonking limits. I drove over the Snoh yesterday and the water looks good. Soon it will be flooded. Prepare to combat fish!

Anytime I got a great spot private property and the guide boats anchor out in front its pretty comical watching my girls out fish the guides and saving the 150 per person.

Of all the times I've seen the guides out on the Snohomish, I've never seen a single one of them pull fish into the boat...

You clearly aren't watching real well...Every humpy season especially my father and his co-guides have limited with 5-6 guys in a matter of 2-3 hrs. He usually does two trips a day during humpy season. So not sure what "guides" your seeing but I've always limited in his boat and watched others do so as well.

I'm not saying your pops is one of them.....but the guides I see  keep every fish they land......no matter how nasty it looks....they don't even attempt to suggest that the client might not want to keep it....just bonk it and throw it in the box  :yike: .....I'm sorry but that just isn't right......   :dunno:

Yea not all of them are the best looking fish but you also gotta wonder does the client even care? Sometimes they dont they just want to have fun and put fish in the boat. And no he is not that type of guide, if it looks like crap its going back. He usually only fishes the beggining run to the peak and then switches to silvers. He doesn't chase crappy fish thats forsure!
