went again today, water was about the same as it was yesterday. Landed a nice chrome 8# hen on a corky and shrimp. man this fish tore me up! i thought it was a big ass native it took like 5 HUGE runs and almost put me in the rapids every time . Damn these summer fish really put you to the test!!!! Whats the deal with all of the fish having immature eggs?

Tyler

P.S. Like Wayne said there are no fish in the sky!

typical teen-
The summer steelhead don't spawn until next year. The hatchery fish spawn from January into early March and the wild summer fish spawn fro mid-March to mid-May. Thus the immature eggs

Those hatchery summer fish disprove the myth that hatchery fish don't fight; those June fish are the best!!

The hatchery fish I catch on the Sky, both summer and winter, fight like wet rags. I can only think of one that's come out of the water. I can't think of a reason why, but that's been my experience with the dozen or so I've caught up there.

stilly bum, out of the 4 fish ive hooked on the sky since sunday 1 busted me off shortly after the headshake, one gave a pretty good fight (better than a wet rag ) and the other 2 absolutley TORE me up! both making huge long runs burning my thumb!

For wut it's worth, me and Sullie hit the Sky and pulled plugs yesterday, nothin. Saw some nice fish jumpin though, talked to a driftboater and said he had a lil bit of luck on plugs as well.

Fished the upper snoho today and brought two chromers to the boat. One was a 11-12# wild mama so gave her a kiss and sent her on her way the other was a 6# brat so I gave him the wood. River is in prime shape and I dont think this rain should affect it at all. The south stilly went out last night.
P.S. shame on you Stilly Bum! I really can only think of one or two summer fish that I've caught in the last 40 years that fought like a "wet rag" and they were hooked so deep I couldn't see the hook. Summer fish generally do their best to tear a guy a new behind.

Gee wiz,all the summer run we have caught this year have benn screamers,have'nt hit a limp rag this year.Hope to hit some more tomorrow.

Whoever said that the rain wouldn't do to much to the level look again! http://wa.water.usgs.gov/rt-cgi/gen_stn_pg?station=12134500

rain mixed with warm weather in the mountains is not good!

Tyler

uh Skeets13 There I was running my mouth again! But the rain I saw on the upper snoho yesterday wasn't going to hurt-it was the rain I didn't see in the mts. that blew us out today. Did the upper snoho again today and put the wood to a 5# brat before the river puked about 7:00.

I forgive u i also thought that it wouldn't make to much of a difference and then it started dumpin! How long till it goes down would u say?

Skeets I plan on being in the Sultan area tommorrow a.m. probably work the area below Jims rock. I'm pretty sure it should be plenty fishable but I like to fish the Sultan stretch when she's up in the trees. Fish from the bank cause the fish are running right at your feet. Good luck

The Sky should be rippin' tommorrow. The summer 'Nooks should be close at hand with the high water, instead of in the swirly back eddy crap. Like TTT said, these summer fish will tear it up when hooked most of the time. I havent had one dog yet out of the 10+ hooked so far. Ive only got one buck hatchery so far, the rest hens. Anybody else catching just hens? Maybe the bucks are coming a little later??

tight lines....

I was surprised as to how quickly the Sky shapened up, i shouldn't jinx it though it's rainin' heavy again !

Rainman...Craven Moorehead...got that new grass skirt and cocoanut bra at 4.2 and it's been raining ever since!

Craven...I'm thinking that you need to archive the get up in a sealed chest, with some kind of crypt, warning all of the monsoonal mojo that could be unleashed.

When you do the annual ceremonial rain dance starting in September to draw large bodied silvers into the shoosh shoosh can you do us a favor?
How about posting some photos!

FJ...out.

Yknotfish
hey mike, email me your phone number, I will call you, and we can figure out sometime to fish and meet..

I have done most of my fishing...south due to water level issues,I will wait for the sky to drop in better shape before I hit it hard...still go once in a while though!!

Anyone getting any kings yet?

Woodsy Wayne

Craven c'mon man... i cant take this i have holes in my waders...

Tyler

fished upper snoho yesterday and today-one brat yesterday and one today saw plunkers with a couple today. Yesterday the kings put on a pretty good show-saw 4 jump clear of the water and a bunch roll. Funny thing about it was they were out in the middle of the river with all root balls and logs that were comming down. The river really snapped back into shape last night. See ya on the river!

Hey ALl,

Went up to Cable Hole and Then to Humpy Rock this last week, River was still al little High to fish down low, but up at Cable we saw five fish caught in the early AM Friday. Nice job to the guy on the south side in the Blue Shirt/Tan Vest. This guy kept the fish in the water for what seemed to be 20-30 minutes! Well hey if you love the fight, why not. Me and Brother landed 1 native which was carefully released...

Anyone been up since we had all this rain? I bet she is blown again.

Sky-Guy

Any updates for the sky. or lower.?? Going to hit it on Sunday, down low for steelie's then moving up stream to try for some kings. Mostly boondogg'in maybe some plugg'in or bait-divers off anchor.....c/22
