Steelheader boy,

The Sauk should have good numbers of late winter runs in June, however, they are all native downstreamers by that time and look and fight like old boots. I own frontage on the upper Sauk and fish it just about the year around. There is not much of a hatchery or native summer run in the Sauk. The only reason I even fish it in the summer is because I camp up there and manage my tree farm.

If you want to float it anyway and take in the beautiful scenery, then I would suggest that you launch at the mill in Darrington and take out at the Suiattle confluence. You better be experienced if you float this section as there are a lot of dead end channels, reversals, and log jams. Your cataraft should allow you to sneak around some of the bad spots.

Life is short...fish hard!!
