I'd just add that while I see lots of fly fishermen on the Skagit, the season is far from exclusive. I see lots of plug pulling and pink worm dunkin' by the likes of Todd the Mod and his ilk. The Skagit needs the help of all anglers interested in steelhead fishing opportunity going forward. The facts are that while WDFW is broken and the Director and Commissioners make decisions that are adverse to recreational angling, the Skagit and other recreational angling opportunities are on the chopping block unless the Department gets some direct Legislative push to prioritize recreation.

We get the fishing we fight for.
