Might be fewer folks fishing there than you think, unless you caught the recent post on the emergengy closures.

Poor hatchery steelhead returns prompt fishing
closures on seven northern Puget Sound rivers

OLYMPIA – Recreational game fish fishing will close Monday (Jan. 6) on sections of seven northern Puget Sound rivers to ensure enough adult steelhead return to hatcheries to produce the next generation, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today.

The rivers affected by the emergency game fish fishing closure are:

(amoung others)

The mainstem Skykomish River from 1,500 feet upstream to 1,000 feet downstream of the Reiter Ponds outlet

The latest rule changes can also be accessed via phone, at (360) 902-2500, ext. 2.
There's still alot of river left, but they aren't closing the terminal areas down because of a surplus of fish that's for sure. Might even make one consider CNRing brats; now thats a switch.

Best of luck.
