Went to our island this morning. We're located next to Rasar State Park. Wasn't expecting any fish, just doing a recon. It was a good (or bad) sign that there was a fleet of small boats about a mile downriver from my location. To me it meant fish had gotten this far upriver. Sure enough, had a lot of jumpers and surfacing fish so I rigged up and had a line in the water by 7:00 am. Tried a bunch of different setups with some heavy hits but no serious inquiries and no hook ups. I did land a small sucker fish so at least I don't feel I got skunked, released it unharmed. The fish are there, just got to figure out what they want. I'll probably throw on the waders and try tossing a fly next time out.

At least you saw a fish or two. I fished in Burlington this morning and the river looked very empty. Hung around for a couple hours and nothing to show for it.

spenny1823 - Went again this morning. Figured the nasty weather that rolled through yesterday might have prompted a few more fish to move but it was quieter than the day before. Not even a bite this time.

Went down to the Skagit this afternoon and saw I guy down there with his daughter and she was playing with a trout he caught. Went to check it out and it was a small (approx. 16 inches) Dolly. Told this guy "hey man, you might want to cut that thing free and leave it to the birds. It needs to be 20 long". He didn't believe me and spent the next 10 minutes trying to pull up the regs on his phone... Some people.. Tight lines y"all.
