Fishing the Samish can be frustrating. I was there this morning, and I tried drifting eggs, and eggs under a float, nothing in six hours. For a while I had a pool to my self that had 2-3 fish swimming in it, and they weren't interested in my eggs. I am new to salmon fishing, so I talked with the guys who were catching fish, they were all snaggers. One guy said over his year he had caught atleast 400 fish in Samish, and only 50 of those were hooked in the mouth. It is really frustrating as a beginer to go home with out any bites, while the snaggers are hookin into a lot fish.
