Second week of September

[rtspring]

SEPT 1st , there are always some early ones to be had....

[Firstlight]

Normally start catching them the last two weeks of July, but the river should be loaded by mid-August, if the perdictions are right.

I would guess 1st week of September.

[kbyers]

We always plan a trip for the week after labor day.  Hopefully my buddy and I will be back from Iraq by then this year   

[Ripper]

The Skagit should be loaded with pinks by the first weekend in Sept. I always hit the lower river on the opener and catch fish. If things are late this year then the second weekend.

Fish definetly start showing in numbers in August and by the first of September they should be thick but also start to color and slim up as some linger around...

[Sporting_Man]

Last few seasons, there were plenty of them by the second half of August in lower portions of Puyalup, Green, Snoho...

me too. I'm not sure if puy and skagit get them exactly the same time though. WDFW may have some historical numbers they could share.

Ahh humpys...can't wait.

Might want to check the regs on when the different sections of the river opens.   But, by early Sept. the river should be fun for catch and release.  Pink jig or pink fly with a floating line.  It should be entertaining watching the folks put those big soft humps into their coolers

"It'll smoke up!"

[Dustin07]

Can't wait for some river action Pinks!!
