Sol duc?

[bigskyx]

don't think I've seen a nicer bunch of fish. That first one is as good as it gets! By the way, I'm pretty good on the oars.

[RiverChromeGS]

Sol duc?

Danny we need to hook up soon! I've had a 3 week hiatus from fishing of any kind! Need to get a fish! Text me bud!

[primetime]

Still catching a few hatchery steelhead. I'm on a streak of 7 bucks in a row. I need to start hitting some hens to replenish my egg supply!

[RiverChromeGS]

Well something epic happened the other day... 18 for 24 on steelhead. All wild fish. Huge push came up and we were right on the pod. It was so epic we had 2 doubles and a TRIPLE header. Didnt even have time for pics except a few. The pod was gone the next day but boy was this one to remember

That's cheating Danny! Where's your drifter. Getting all high and motor on us?

[Brat Bonker]

The lower skagit is WAYY too big for a drifter!

All those pictures from Forks a few days ago with the 20lber were fish caught from my driftboat, but i took pictures facing shore to keep the river a secret. Other than that, there really hasnt been many options with how tough the steelhead season has been

[natetreat]

I've fished the lower skagit from mine and killed it, I don't know what you're talking about.

Its different for steelhead than salmon, gotta cover lots of water, go back through holes at different distances from shore. Big river. Its doable but annoying and much less effective

[natetreat]

I meant for steelhead. I've killed it fishing for steelhead. Put a motor on it and you're cheating

Youve killed it fishing the lower skagit for steelhead this year huh...? It was closed by the time you got your boat last year and i havent seen ya out there this last week when fish actually started to showed up. . Gotta have a sled down low

[natetreat]

caught me!

regardless, motors are cheating.

The sled is nice to have in a big river, and has its uses, but I do enjoy the peaceful ride in a driftboat on a small river way more. Nothing like a nice float on a coastal stream

[natetreat]

That's what I want to hear. I catch fish wherever I go, and my hearing isn't what it used to be. When I build my sled, I'm going to be deaf outright.

Another good day. 7 for 9. Little bit of rain brought some MAJORLY fresh fish in, every single one with blue fins and backs. Sealice covered... We put another 20 lber to the net. 38 by 21 inches. Absolute bullet chrome monster. Even found a late bonus hatchery fish
