Title: Pinks in the upper Skagit
Post by: jeepasaurusrex on September 14, 2013, 11:12:15 PM: I had heard that fishing for pinks (humpies) was closed above the Dalles bridge. I went by parts of the river today and there were tons of people fishing. Is the upper Skagit open or closed? I want to take the kids up to Dad's place on the river and let them hook into a few pinks.
