my buddy and i went out on the river right in sultan around 6am for 2 mornings in a row and literally saw about 100 silvers jumping around as close as 5ft in front of us. Got really excited about catching one, but after about 5 hours of fishing and 3 bites we almost were ready to snap our poles in half. It was a pretty big tease to see all those fish. but it was a gorgeous day out. I was fishing with some dick nites and the switched to a bobber with some yarn and roe and still not bites, so switched up to a vibrax spinner and ended up loosing it to the river ugghh.....well there was one guy that pulled out 2 nice size silvers about 12-15lbs each, but he was definitely flossing, which is totally cheating, but after seeing him pull out those silver the though of flossing definitely crossed my mind. anyways i will definitely be back, I'm bound to hook into something with that many fish. and when i was leaving i talked to some guy and he hadn't caught a fish all year on the river, so i dunno maybe its a bad year......well good luck to all :)

Don't be too discouraged. It's been a tough year for many on they Sky this year...The Sky is notorious for having lockjaw...

yeah i know how you feel about not catching any. A couple of my friends were on the wallace during the weekend and they both landed a couple and saw alot caught and they said that some where being hooked in the mouth so there is some hope you just have to fight the crowd

hey fishingboy ya that must of been you i was talking to you at ballinger haha small world. and as for basstard flossing is when you take about 10ft of leader and put a weight on and let some roe just sit in the river and evnetually a salmon will run into it because they swim with thier moths open so when the bait floats into thier mouth you get one

sounds like fishing to me. I think a lot more people floss more than they think. Unless your steady retrieving a spoon or spinner. I see a lot of fish caught right in the mouth and i know darn well it was flossed, but thats legal, and thats fishing. But if your snagging and taking more than your limit you got a problem. and will probably get caught . good luck guys!
