Kory,

I've fished the Skagit since 1972 and lived on it for 15 years. I guess you could say it's my "mane" river, or at least one of my favorite rivers.

I'm no typist either, and my spelling ain't perfect, either. And I understand that spelling and grammar are not highly valued in email and some areas of cyberspace. But I don't know you, can't see you, and can't hear you. Did you really expect your post to be taken seriously? I shouldn't be so biased, but when I read your post, I envisioned someone who just crawled out of the woods with a real odd tattoo to missing tooth ratio. So what is it you might teach me? About fishing, I mean.

I mostly fly fish. The Skagit is great water for the fly, except for kings. I've also thrown spinners and spoons. They all work, given the right time, place, and presentation.

Good luck, and I hope you read better than you spell, or you won't be able to benefit from any of the information folks share on this BB.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
