I've never fished the lower Skagit before and I have a crazy amount of questions but the most important is: Is it worthwhile?
I scouted around a few times after the March opener last year only to realize walking & wading didn't seem to be the way to go, so I never wet a line.
I finally got my boat up-n-running but I essentially have no idea what to expect or consider. Heck, I don't even know what species of fish should be around. After reading the bull trout articles, I'm guessing they ought to be down there but would cutthroat be present, too?
And then is chum fry timing a big consideration? Cuz I've never followed the fry before, either.
Anyone wanna throw me a bone to get me started? Or if nothing else, tell me I'd be better off doing some yard work or hitting a lake
Thanks in advance,
