I read an article in todays paper and it says that theres kings in there rite now. Does anyone know about this or have any ideas on how to fish for them?

They are nasty! A bright one looks like a giant brown trout. Cut plug herring and K-fish work.

Not really related but I was told that average kings going through the locks were est. @ 8 a min.

I have HEARD your basic sockeye setup will work. I will be testing out this theory tomorrow.

Would you really want to eat anything that has swam through the Sammamish Slough? Ick!

This is probably not a 'eating' fishery. I am approaching it as a 'for fun and practice' fishery. Not everything that is caught has to end up in a freezer or on the dinner plate.

I hate to rain on your parade, but those Sammamish kings don't typically fight very well either due to the warm lake water. Try concentrating most of your efforts as close as you can legally get to the mouth of Issaquah creek. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the advice on where to fish 4Salt.

Easy- I sent u a private message.

Ewww, trolling around Lake Sammamish in the sun where all those girls in bikinis are running around skiing and getting jostled about...what hell.
I bet you won't even get to break out the Xtra Tuffs and Grundens. What fun is that? If you do go, I'd suggest getting up around 2:00 a.m. and drive around for at least three hours before you put the boat in. Then it'll be more like a "real" fishing trip.

Have fun chasing those bronzebacks...

O.K. your right the bikinis would get me out there trolling like a madman! Only in the hot afternoon of course

Bruce: Are you going to get out to the beach this year? Shoot me an e-mail if you want to hook up early next month.

Roger, BD. I've never done the beach thing up at the top secret island. We'll touch base.

We are going to throw the kitchen sink at them tonight.

Hope I don't see any "horzontal jigging" like I did at the mouth of the creek a few years ago.
