The opening day Skykomish River fishing report. The water WAS a beautiful, deep green in the upper river, and little more colored up the lower you went, with the color coming from the Wallace and Sultan rivers and the river was running 6,900 CFS and 49 degrees . There was a lot of boat traffic and quite few fish caught. The majority of the fish were Steelhead with a handful of King Salmon in the mix.
On my boat we sidedrifted with eggs and corkies. We ended up hooking into several fish and putting two gorgeous 10-14lb summer run steelhead in the boat, along with a couple of nice Dolly Varden. The bad news is…, that its raining and raining hard here in the Valley. I expect the Sky and Snoqualmie Rivers to blow out today sometime 
Lets go out and go fishing the river is full of fish and once the water levels recede we are going to be in for some really good fishing. Give me a call, I have a few prime dates still available. See you on the water.
Sincerely,
Bonner Daniels

Ps. One last thing whom ever you are, drift boat guy who thinks he owns the mouth of the Wallace, you should get a clue and figure out that the river is a public place and not your own private hole just because you have an anchor out. It was opening day…, figure it out and learn to share.
Thanks for a great day Bonner! Youre the Man!!
I appreciate your comment about the drift boater. I have been extremely verbally abused just for going up the river by a guy in a green drift boat. If it had not been for the water between us, I probably would have taken further action because he was so vulgar and I had kids in the boat. These guys need to learn about the river being for everyone, not just drift boaters. Thanks for letting me vent.
Yes those two obviously have some issues that stem from an early fish-less childhood and pent up frustration with guys in sleds who actually catch fish. Usually people like that back down pretty quickly after you confront them face to face. Just be comforted to know he probably has been divorced twice sleeps in the RV he got from the split and has the dog that still tries to bite him.
