Mike,
Would love to take you up on that offer sometime soon. I've never fished the Skagit. It's another one of the rivers here I'd like to take a shot at. I actually would like to try fly-fishing from a driftboat on the Skagit, Sauk, or Stilly some day. I have an 7wt Orvis that I bought about 10 years ago now, specifically for steelheading with it someday...just never have. Used it a lot for trout though....
