Today I received a News Letter from a Local Tackle shop in Skagit County (which I do every week). But this one was a little different then most, they talk about the Chum fishery in the Skagit which is not open for Chum fishing!

There was too columns of fishing reports; on the fishery telling how good it is. And how to fish for them, HMMMMMMMM!

Is there any thing wrong with promoting a fishery that’s closed?

In my book there is!!!

Here is a sample from the news letter:

“The popular Spud Bar above the forks continues to be productive for chum while occasionally yielding some large silvers.”

“A couple of customers reported doing well on chums this past Monday fishing the Gardner Bar area with metallic Spin N Glows sizes 4 to 6 tipped with sand shrimp. Aside from the bountiful chum fishing they did manage to catch a bright 7 pound silver.”

“Perhaps the most consistent section of river has been the Hamilton-Lyman stretch. “I have removed the name of the guide” and clients fished this area and did very well this past Thursday catching over twenty chum ranging from 12 pounds to well over 20 pounds along with a couple of silvers. The fish were taken on a variety of Dick Nites and Blue Fox Vibrax spinners. "Name removed" and clients returned to the scene of the action Saturday and while chum fishing had slowed somewhat, they boated three mint bright silvers that tipped the scales at 6.5 pounds to 12 pounds.”


FLAME ON!
