Northwest Fishing Reports

I have a few questions about fishing for pink Salmon in the rivers:

1. Season, like august 1st or something?

2. rods/reels/line

3. rivers, i heard the green and the snohomish, is that right, and where to fish on the to rivers.

Thanks, JT

regular salmon regs. Snohomish will be a pink fest in Aug. Bring your dick nights and the light gear! Bang'em all day. Keep the best look'in ones.

Thanks. Do you recomend any certain area's on the snohomish to fish?

This is all the info i have so far:

Snohomish River will be good
Opens August 16th
Limit of 2, over 12 inches
No floating lures

use light tackle.
Pink dick nites, and other spoons


Only thing i think i need to know now is where to fish on the Snohomish.

Is thier anything else i should know?

Thanks.

What are the best lookin ones? When is one too far gone? I love smokin' them but haven't had the luck of catchin' many. Are the colors the same everywhere or just one river? I fish the Carbon sort of by where it goes into the Puyallup.

You CAN use floating lures, you are just reading the regs wrong. Read in the front of the regs what a non-boyant lure restriction is and that will clear it up for you. And fish at the town of Snohomish, Thomas's Eddy, and under the 522 bridge. That is if you are fishing from shore, If in a boat like I will be there are a ton of great holes I know of.

The best looking ones are chrome bright and may even have sea lice still on them. If they are starting to turn darker in color (purplish lateral band on humpies) then it is better to let them go unless you plan on only smoking them. Don't ever keep them when there is more color than chrome on the fish. And yes the colors are the same at most every river.

when does the green river start-up? and where on the green? the green seems small, is it like combat fishing, say, like drano?(tons of fishermen).thanks for any info!

The new Washington fishing and hunting news just came out. Its the annual pink review, get them while they're hot.
