Skywalker,

I'm making a bit of a guess here, but I'd say that the reason for the lower quality up in Gold Bar is due to the Town of Skykomish...the entire town is a Superfund site, mainly from years and years of diesel and oil being spilled from trains at the old stockyard.

It dilutes out as you get farther downstream but up in Skykomish, it is constantly leaching into the river...

Fish on...

Todd
