Post by: FC on August 07, 2013, 07:43:15 AM: They are in there in pretty limited numbers, my gf and I took a look the night before last. The furthest up that we found fish was the hwy 2 bridge although we only went up about a mile past the Lowell launch, we launched at Everett.

Post by: Ripper on August 07, 2013, 01:07:25 PM: I saw on John's Sporting Goods Facebook page that some people are catching limits on the Snohomish and Skagit Rivers. Pictures don't lie. I know they are not in thick yet but if you get on a school you can catch a few anyway.

Thats like someone suggesting that i'm NOT coyote hunting with my .375 H&H (when I clearly am). Coyotes can be aggressive if wounded, I want to make sure that doesnt happen.
