I got my first Steelhead on a fly on the Sky. It was during the low water years, in the late 70's. They used to use Skamania stock fish in the Sky, dont know what stock they are using now. Those fish were crazy, jump and run all over, and boy did they bite. Great fly rod fish. Anyway the money needs to come from the Legislature to keep Reiter open. Yes the river has changed, all the Big Floods have changed the river a lot. Compared to the Stilly though the Sky is pretty good. If you want to look at a devasted river, the Stilly tops them all. The amount of soil washed down Deer Creek is estimated at more than the Mt. Saint Helens disater.
