With the lower end of area 7 opening up today, I would have thought there would be fish in the Samish by now, unless there aren't any to go up the river. WDFW biologists sure are not checking very many fish inside. PI sports section said on Thursday, fishing was fair at best, I would say POOR at best. We fished hard for 2 days on the South side of SanJuan( Eagle-Pile Lime quarry and Open Bay), we managed one one Saturday, never saw another fish caught and could not find another boat that had a fish. Good killer whale show in the morning. When we checked in at Bellingham at 6:00 PM, checker had only saw 1 other fish all day. A couple of friends were out 4-5 days in seperate boats and only had 1 fish between them.
