Hello, thought I should speak up after lurking for about a month. I'v been trout fishing for years, but just started salmon/steelie fishing this fall. No brats yet, but I'm pretty much a cracker, what should I expect. I'm still trying out new fisheries just to figure out what river I like. Want to thank everyone for their helpful hints; even if I'm not catching fish, at least I feel like I might.

My questions: Does anyone know where there's access to the Pilchuck? (Is it even worth fishing). I tried to get over there last weekend, but the Snohomish Rec area is closed for construction. The reg book says the river's closed above the city of Snohomish diversion dam, where's the diversion dam? Thanks.
