Never open. The SF is pretty dismal for holding water where open and it is full of all kinds of silty crap. There is also terrible access and the boat launch is gone as of last year. Most guys fish the NF these days.


I didn't think so, but the same guy who mentioned the unfathomably number of wild steelhead in the Nooksack also mentioned some great fishing back in the day up in some canyon region of the South Fork. (for kings) I can't say if there is even a canyon up there with fish because; I've never been there, and me and fish never seem to be in the same place at the same time. The Nooksack is a tough nut to crack for a newb. (which I seriously consider myself to be)
