Boy, some of you are sure BIG men out there talking smack to a 13 year old. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Nice to know that some people are so eager to help out the next generation of steelheaders. Bet you guys were all experts at 13, eh? Sorry to vent, but this has been going on for too long and if Kory is indeed 13 years old, then your little comments are completely uncalled for.

Kory, if you need to know anything about the Skagit, then you can ask me anytime. The Skagit will be closed until June 1 at which time it will open up for trout and steelhead. It's a humpy year this year, Kory, and if it opens, then you should get into some good fishing on the Skagit come August/September. Fishing for summer steelhead in the Skagit can be spotty but there will be tons of dollies pouring in by mid June. Until then, Kory, work hard in school and I'm glad to hear that you have such a strong interest in fishing.
