Hi Drew -

I admire your enthusiasm and you remind me of when I used to bank fish the Sky with GBL before heading to work at the Big B in the early 80's. We used to walk into the BJ Hole at about 5AM and spread out just enough to lock up the hole before the boats came down from Sultan to try and pull plugs. We would take about 1.5 - 2 hours to work the drift from top to bottom, then head to Renton. More times than not, we would walk out with some nice summer runs.

I've also always considered the Sky as my "home" river too, but that river has broken my heart over the last 10 years. Just seems like there's way too many boats and not enough fish. I will admit though that I haven't really given it another good shot over the last 3 years or so, so maybe you can get me pumped back up!
