Skokomish Opening?

[ffbowhunter]

Anyone have any idea what day the Skok opens up for kings in August.

[johnr060]

It opens August first.

Would be there, but it's the bear opener

Let the turd fest begin.

Shouldn't be full force though, since a lot of the tribal hunting seasons open that same day (deer and elk I think).

Watch your stuff down there the Indians stole my fishing vest one year it had my car keys.  Lucky my pistol was on me and my wallet to buy a new key for my car...  So watch your stuff the Indian meth addict kids down there will distract you while the others steal your stuff.

Man, the skok could be such a cool fishery... Too bad it's such a joke.

The Indians are catching fish already.

[JimSR.]

I hang out with the bobber guys floating bait & stay away from the snaggers (inbreads)!!!!

[WSU]

That is such a trashy fishery.  I'd rather not associated with the tweekers and snaggers.

The skok fish are done feeding by the time they get in the river.  You yuppie fishermen who say you float eggs while the snaggers ruin it are funny.  I see you guys floating eggs and you hook up every hour or so.  Never the big fish just the small jacks.  Cause that the only fish that might want a bite to eat after they get inland.  There is no other way to fish a river like that.  The fish don't eat.  so if I don't want to be labeled a snagger I need to cast out drift the pocket and reel my line in after I feel no bumps?  If I did feel a bump set the hook?  The only bump I might get in the skok is my line going through a dozen fish?  So if I set it then I would most likely foul hook the fish or Snag the fish? 

My point is there is no feeding that goes on in the river and the only way to catch fish consistently is to floss them in the mouth and keep the fair hooked hatchery fish right?  I could go waste my time waiting for a takedown but it would take all day.  I have had one fish bite my corkie and yarn in the skok.  It was a big buck and he probably wasn't eating more defending his pocket that I kept throwing into.  That's after ten years of fishing the skok.  One bite.  So good luck to you egg floating guys.  Knock them little ones dead!

Wrong on all accounts.  If you learned how to fish, you would learn that those fish are great biters.  More power to you if you can't or won't figure it out, but claiming they don't bite is flat wrong.

They stop feeding yes, but they BITE lots of different offerings... Spinners, spoons, eggs, plugs, herring under a float just to name a few....

As for just hooking the little ones, that makes me laugh... I've caught kings 40+lbs on float and eggs... the reason those fish stop biting eggs as the day goes on, is because they turn into pin cusions. With most hooks catching them right in the A$$. Whats your foul hook to "in the mouth" percentage, huh?

Justify it how you fill, but flossin' is just fancy snagging.

oh yeah, if you hookset and the end of every single drift you are intentionally snagging in the eyes of the DFW... just an FYI
