Nice job Gramps! I love fishing the skagit, I hope to get up there soon.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Hows the fishing this week on the skagit.

The Indians have their nets in the river, so fishing is ULTRA-SLOW right now. 5 fish in the boat Monday for 3 people and 6 hours. Tuesday 3 fish for 3 people and 5 hours. Today 4 people in the boat for 5 hours and we got 3 fish. :(

Bight thing is the nets come out tonight before dark, so things should pick up tomorrow. :) All the fish we have been catching are Chrome Bright and all have Sea Lice on them, so the fish haven't been in the river long! :)

I caught 5 tonight in about an hour, under the Hwy 9 bridge.  Seen several nice kings jump and roll as well.  My 3.5 year old and i were jigging pink jigs with a hoochie skirt over them seemed pretty productive and lots of fish rolling around! :twocents:
