FWIW moved to a residence close to the Stilly and Skagit almost 20 years ago now and IMHO it has gone down hill particularly for Pinks the last 4 cycles. There was a time it was loaded and fish waiting to make the turn up Pilchuck Creek had to take a number to wait their turn. Not so much anymore... I do get the whole cycle thing but 2015 was truly horrible! Warm temps and no fish to be seen and a number of large scouring events and the OSO slide did not do the river any favors. Fingers crossed it will rebound BUT do believe it will take a loooooooong time! Skagit's a different story... Used to run a sled up above Rockport and the biomass of Pinks was astounding as in top to bottom! Where did they all go? Pink numbers were way off in AK last year to so maybe it's all part of a down cycle to. Hopefully Mother Nature will smile upon us again before my number gets called to leave the Blue Orb!
