Mingo, could ya not post anymore pics of those nice Papio ( trevally) especially the blue fin ones. I have been trying to get them off the beach where we stay for 4-5 years now. Thinking I should ditch the fly rod and just bring a spinning rod. All I see on here and other island web sites is...

Saw a report from someone who saw many resident coho around possession recently. Now if the wind would just blow them across to the east side beaches.

Well Maybe, just Maybe if we had Enforcement any near what it was 30 years ago that crap would be a more rare thing ( and yes I know about the poaching going on from the lime quarry all the way to bacon creek) not to mention the free range alcohol being made in those parts. This state has been...

All this will do is make those WF jerk’s even more powerful. As if they don’t have enough power already. The Minority ruling over the majority. Sounds like, walks like Communism.

Article in NW Sportsman, surplus Steelhead planting in SW lakes. NICE !!!!!! Wish they would do that up here. Cmon Wallace Hatchery guys, I know you want to.

Many Thanks as well from a dyed in the wool low brow simple guy. Love the gear chuckers forum that reminds me not to get so high and mighty just cause I fish bigs most of the time. Cheers !

DUH !!!!!!!

Ah NO ! Wish they would release brood stock and surplus steelhead up my way. i will take More Opportunity every time ! More lakes open year round too.

So we had 1 month to comment on the proposed 2023 opening and on the 10 year plan ? when WDFW knew this was coming up last summer and through the fall when they were Monitoring the fishing from September up to the end of January?

Checking again I found the article in NW Sportsman dated 12/23/2022 with a mention & link to WDFW medium.com blog ? Went to that and is dated 12/22/2022. Basically says Skagit River “Federal Review “ of fishery plan. Fishery managers “Hope” to hold a catch and release Steelhead fishing season...

Was there an official announcement about opening the river ? Only thing I remember seeing was an article in Northwest Sportsman magazine. Don’t remember seeing anything from WDFW ?

Look up Frodinflys. Some instructional stuff there plus you could buy some of the products they have. Also watch Mikeal Frodin videos on YouTube and see some of the water he fishes over there ( Sweden, Norway). Pretty fast water for salmon in early season with no problem getting his tube down...

Go ahead call me any names you want. I will be glad to catch them and have a blast doing so. Just wish I could manipulate time and space and get my grandkids out there.

This is a great idea. Wish I could help. Since my folks have passed away I just don’t get down south anymore.

Glad No One was hurt ! Scary if he lost air brakes.

Looks ugly. Sad really. I grew up around those parts and this might be bright note in the history of that area. Considering that the whole lower area was a country club at one time. There even was a swimming pool just upstream from the old railroad bridge. When the clubhouse burned down all of...

Check out Mike at Frodin flys (Sweden) on YouTube. He has some instructional videos that are good along with knots and his fishing. And he sells tube materials. Also Mr Davie Mcphail (spelling ? ). That Sun Ray shadow is an interesting fly. Coho maybe ?

Flooded fields , high brown river’s, creeks running full but grays harbor still nice.

will have some of those non traditional colored fly’s ready and see if I can’t outfish other folks using nothing but pink. and not to forget a floating/waking fly this year !

Very good news. I applaud the effort in these days of “do nothing cause we will get sued”. hope to get back down there.
