This year was my worst year ever for Coho on the Skagit. No problem with the number of fish, it was amazing. The big, deep holes held hundreds and hundreds of them I just couldn't get them to bite. The guys that were casting all day in the same holes where getting fish but how boring is that, I like to stay on the move unless the fish in a particular hole stay on the bite than what the heck. Steelhead on the other hand I've never had a problem getting them to bite, fresh or holding fish. The trick is finding them so staying on the move for me ususally does the trick. Instead of fishing a few of the "good" holes like for Coho I fish the "good" holes and than a whole bunch more!
