Well…, me and every other jet sled in Snohomish, Co. were out on the Sky River for the opener and unfortunately the catching was on a little on the slow side…, but the fishing was excellent! It sure feels good to be back on the local water. The river is definetly high and silty, but we did manage one fish, along with a couple of Dolly Varden.
I would say to fish bright baits and look for the slow water seems. The typical salmon holding water is just to fast at the moment. Run prawns plain, or dyed, good eggs, or even pink worms in the dirty water will work. Don’t forget to bring along your favorite scents, especially if you are targeting the Summer Kings. Accuwheather has the temperature dropping off into next week and that is what we fishermen need!! I expect the fishing to improve greatly following the temperature drop. I will be hopping back and forth between the Sky and Cowlitz rivers through July. If you would like to go out and catch Summer Steelhead, Summer Kings, Bass, and/or Walleye give me a call, or shoot me an email. Until next time…, keep those lines wet!!
