Salmo, I agree with what you said about the Sky. Things got pretty dismal but then really picked up in the late 70's until about 1985 or so. Now I'd say there are much less hatchery and wild respectively than in that 78 to 85 or so range. I seem to remember fish projections or counts back then putting the Sky as the top river in the state. No I still didn't catch a dozen but almost always limited and on the more crowded bars that used to exist you'd see many fish caught throughout the day during peak times. Plus the average hatchery was about 8 pounds versus today's five.
