Care to expand PB :chuckle:
One of my buddies is flying in from MT on saturday and another one is flying in from Idaho on friday. First time the three of us have all been able to get together in a year so were excited to wet some lines! Its the only fishery I really know of this time of year.

You know the holes and how to fish it?
not really its the first time fishing winter run fish since I moved to Montana. Ive fished it a few times when I was in high school. now I'm back so ill have to figure it out one way or another.
The skook is the only winter fishery I really know of that's some what close so we'll give it a shot.
Are steelhead usually in there this time of year or do they run later?

i think i put in about an hour and a half between 3 trips this past year...i just can't handle that kind of pressure.

i liked fishing down there when it was more of a local show, 10+ years ago. i could run down after school for a few hours and fish just about anywhere i wanted to. now there's 100+ guys fishing it on any given weekday during the peak of the season, and the amount of garbage is insane. i can't even get away from the crowds by walking way down in the fields any more.

yeah i here ya.. def a popular fishery now days...... to close to the military base, look how many base stickers in the front of windows...

Even years ago my partner said, "Next time we think about going to the Skookumchuck, let's just go scout for elk!"
Some guys like it. Not for me.

You would be much better off fishing the river that the Skook dumps into and fishing for coho, big coho at that! :twocents:
What is that, the Chehalis? Not very familiar with it. I know my dad and his buddies were doing well on it with a boat but I have no idea what the bank fishing is like.

Didn't have much luck yesterday on the nisqually so we went back to the chuck and my buddy caught a beat up silver on the fly rod. I hooked into one briefly today. Red and black streamers slowly stripped through some slow moving holding water. I haven't seen one fresh fish yet though...
I was the guy across the river talking to you guys when you're buddy caught that fish :tup:
