The Snohomish and Sky are plugged with pinks. Popular access on the Sno is from Lowell on the outskirts of Everett up to Snohomish. There is a good ramp on the Lowell river road just above the park. Expect it to be crowded. Launch fee is $3.00.

Bank access is good along the dike all the way to Snohomish on Lowell road.

Pink leadhead jigs or leadhead jigs with small pink hoochies are best for tossing to pinks. Pink buzz bombs work, but will result in many foul hooked fish, so jigs are a better choice.

A small boat will give you more access, but bank fishing is productive. An incoming tide when it first starts is a good choice for the lower river.

Fish in the lower system will be brighter.
