I'd have to attribute it to "it's still a little early", to save my on psychy. I ran a sled from Fabers Landing below the Sauk up to the Chapel hole (Marblemount) and fished the river damn hard. We were on several hundred fish during the day, most moving through I think. Drove us crazy - between two of the three of us in the boat there were over 80 years of experience on the Skagit so it wasn't for lack of experience or trying. We threw everything at them. We changed techniques through out the day and shifted from spoons to spinners to worms to corkeys and bait. I only had one solid hit during the entire day, using a dink float and a chartruese tinged Wicked Willey. Mid October, weather permitting, will be much better.
