Title: samish river report
Post by: jeepster on October 07, 2010, 12:33:40 AM
saturaday, i got there way too late

didnt go sunday was nucking futts.... one guy released over 40 fish...

didnt go monday...

got there tuesday around 6am, released an estimated 12 lbs silver, kept a 33" king, let a 41" king go, a 4 or 5 wild silvers, got into a huge king, straighed a 3/0 hook out... lost a few others, and once the dew evaporated off the ground, it was over... saw a huge school of silvers heading up river...  fished the same hole for about 3 hours saw about 30+ come out of the hole, most released

limited out today, got there around 6 again, landed a 30" king, got into a few others... easy on easy off... died down something fierce... had to walk down river about a mile or so, found a good group of kings... saw a guy get spooled, saw a ton of big kings, but they were all getting bronze-y.. around 130 or so i got into a 37 incher, and brought him in, the meat was pretty pink so had him for dinner... kinda soft, but was pretty good....

the fish are in there, they are here.... but we need just a very light sprinking to get more fish moving... 2 guys got a chum each.... saw some  H U G E  silvers, the kings are massive, some have a few lice on em still, the coho are chrome chrome CHROME, ive seen some dark kings, some orange kings, but a few have a shiny bronze look to them, they are still pretty good.... kinda disapointed i couldnt get anything to hit my flyrod but... freezer is full...

i hear the fly guys are using green weenies tied with some purple into the patter...

most guys are just using yarn/corkies or beads, smaller gear seems to provoke strikes

some guys are using spinners, but i havent seen anything come up off of those...

im gonna be putting on the rain gear in 4 hours, and heading out there....... my guess is everything is going to be swarming upstream asap and the next week or so is going to be slow as hell untill the late kings and chum arive..... just my guess tho....

Do people still eat the fish out of that sewer drain?  :puke:

I actually used to fish that river years ago when the water was cleaner and before the internet brought in hoards of A-holes and ruined it.

My guess is now that within a year or two that fishery will shut down now due to the garbage and all the other people problems .
