FYI -
Our freshwater river systems are more complex than many anglers realize. There are aproximately 24 different native species of fishes found in the Skagit. One of which is the northern squawfish or more correctly the northern pikeminnow (one must try to be PC).

Other native species beside the familar salmon, trout, and whitefish include a couple sculpins, 3 species of lamprey, redside shiner, peamouth chub, longnose dace, threespine stickleback, and everyone's favorite the largescale sucker.
