Fish in the samish yet?

Just looked at the regs, looks like they changed it back. The year I quit fishing it, they outlawed "stationary" fishing methods and then went one step further and required a float. It was an effort to minimize snagging. We free drifted eggs and also twitched jigs. The jig guys were the reason they went to the float rule. Anyone who says a king won't absolutely inhale a twitched marabou jig is a liar.

I fished it about 2 weeks ago never saw a fish touched.

I had some good times there when I was younger. Loved fishing the slot on the mud bank immediately above the bridge. That is until I was chasing a fish one day and found a strategically placed (and invisible due to mud covering it) sheet of plywood that sent me A** over tea kettle into the ditch. The float fishing rule ultimately took me out of the game, I loved free drifting eggs with no weight.

 

We used to head down really early on weekends to get our favorite spot.  We would usually hit the 2nd 90 degree corner from the bridge, maybe 3/4 mile up.
We took a lot of fish out of that river, limiting almost every time we went.  It got to be a family affair pretty quickly. 
The mud could be brutal when your a knee deep 10 year old and wearing dads old waders.  They'd get stuck and it would take forever to pull me out.
