Good luck..............


Knowledgeable folks have no issue with the Skagit being CNR. It's been that way since 1981. After a four year closure from 1977 through 1980, due to low spawning escapements caused by over fishing, the Skagit and Sauk were re-opened to fishing for wild steelhead, but most of the fishery since then has been CNR. Much better for anglers who are more interested in fishing for steelhead than in eating them.

I go back to the OLD DAYS......50's and 60's, when the Skagit was one of the premium rivers in the whole State. When 50+ salmon were common
place and lots of winter run steelhead, plunking was the common way of fishing.....then.

Wasn't making fun of "catch and release", today it is what it is.
