I was there Fishing the lower Snohomish from my sled. I was filming with my fishing partner. We hit 7 real nice chrome silvers. The fish are rather big this year, whats up with that, has Mark McGuire been giving them his roids? All of our fish were 10 lbs +.
Anyways we watched fish flop all day long. There were a couple of bankies that hooked fish from the shore. One guy lost his because he was using 4 lb test and didn't expect to see silvers that big. There were about 5 or 6 other boats in the area during the morning, too bad they didn't wait for high tide. The tide brought in alot more fish.
One of the other boats took a 6 fish limit between 3 guys.
I have a tip for the shore fishermen. Cast up stream, wether the river is in reverse when the tide comes in or wether its going out. always cast WAY up the current. You will have a better chance of hooking up. Salmon have a tendancy to take lures/baits that go with the flow.
Most of the fish were lower in the snohomish. We ran all the way up to 522. the river is rather low above snohomish, it was really tricky getting my sled across some of the shallow gravel bars. I can't wait for rain! Rain will make trips alot less stressfull. Not to mention alot more fish.
Some folks up by Thomas eddy were trying to snag the old pinks with buzz bombs sitting in the whole there. Shame on you!
Anyways! Couldn't ask for better weather!
