Not too often that you see an e-reg put out OPENING a fishery!

I bet our "co-managers" are snickering watching us trip all over ourselves while they count the loot from their silver netting last fall. So generous of them to allow us a C&R season.

The Skagit CNR season is the product of a grass roots fishermen effort and hard work by some WDFW biologists, who did have to work with the Skagit tribes to bring this about. But the tribes wanted something too, so they worked with the state as co-managers. SG - I have no doubt that this opener would not have happened if there wasn't a "grass roots fishermen effort" supported by some WDFW biologists, but I'm puzzled by your statement that "the tribes wanted something too, so they worked with the state as co-managers." Could you elaborate on what the tribes wanted out of this? Thanks.

You say that like it matters. It does matter! If it didnt matter, why do so many fly guys get so worked up watching gear guys catch “their fish”?

I'm glad to have the chance. The opening doesn't mean it's a large run forecast, about 500 more than last season. So much better than not fishing. Just got home after 3 days on the river, one fish, just to give some perspective. Hey, Salmo, 3 days in a row on the river....good for you, I lost that patience on the Skagit years ago. Glad you got a fish. I hit it all day on Sunday for the first time in ? and only saw Mr. Whitey. Not sure I've ever caught a whitefish on the mainstem ever, but he hit the biggest fly in the box. Confident my new spey line/sink tip was getting down. Excited for the extended opportunity. Saw a lot of people. Have a good pic of the whitey with a 6" fly in it's mouth, but can't remember how to post pics here. Thanks for the report,Tom [img

Salmo,, it does matter to me. I didn’t say that. I said it matters. I was asked by WW to name butt hurt fly guys on this board. I am not going to do that.
