The finger is being pointed at the high volume bank fisherman that are crapping in and along the river banks. Witnesses say the "evidence" is all over the place. Mmmmmm...yummy. Makes me want to go eat an oyster. Oh, they say seagull poo is a contributor also since the numbers are so high from feeding on salmon carcasses left behind by fisherman.

Post by: hard hunter on August 28, 2009, 11:30:22 PM: I took a friend and my two older kids up to the Skok and Hoodsport today. I was extremely disappointed. We saw 4 fish hooked and three landed on the river and nothing at Hoodsport. At about 6 p.m. we checked back at Hoodsport and there were 3 king that had been taken but everyone was just sitting around. I was told that all the fish seemed to be holding in the tide waters by the construction but again didn't spend a whole lot of time there watching.

It has been a couple of years since I fished the Skok but I was also disappointed in the number of fish I saw in the river. Where I remember seeing 20-25 I now see only 5-10.

Maybee I'll try again later.

Should have fished the scoke about 2 weeks ago. Rumors have it that it was a very good run. I don't fish it but I gave a buddy some eggs to test for me. He did very well!!

It's time to look at fishing other rivers, ;) I'm getting ready to leave and see if I can get my first silver for the year. Damn I hate beening stuck to fishn' from the bank!! I need my boat. NOW!!!! >:( :bash: :bash:

Post by: BigGoonTuna on August 29, 2009, 02:37:59 PM: fishing was *censored*ty this season because of the total lack of water. river's running at 1/3 the level it was last year at this time. the fish were in, but were not biting.

also, the spot i've been fishing the last couple seasons just absolutely got hammered by snaggers. didn't used to be so bad in the far lower river below the farms.

I heard from Lyle that it is the new snagger hotspot....too bad as we had some good days there.
