ive seen quite a few different guys fly fishing the snocrummy last week with a couple guys hooking up.

just curious if anyone has been out and has had any luck?

i havent braught out the fly rod yet im kinda waiting for conditions to warm up a bit.

not yet for me, water too cold imo but i usually have the spey with me anyway to practice some casting. but hey, anytime it comes in low and slow in the right spot it should be game on. cheers

i have been busy with a new job and duck season but i hope to be able to catch some fish this feb-march-april on the O.P. it would be nice to feel a good fish on the line again.

It's been a couple weeks for me. I should be out this weekend if water conditions are favorable.

hopefully it rains a little bit to get water temps up and a little more flow. cause water is getting really low again and the bite has been off and on the last couple days. but the few days after the high water was on fire in a couple places i fish.

the bum thing is even with the water so low there are alot of places you think would be good but are still blown from new bleeds and slides. I'm waiting another month and then its time to bust out the 9140, some big tubes, and start shwinging!

Fished the upper Skykomish Tuesday afternoon. Water was in good shape with over 4' of visability and COLD. Got one grab that felt like a Dolly, but no steel for me. Guys at Reiter were picking up a few, but told me it had cooled off after a hot weekend bite.

Flyfishing for Winter Brats is like playing the lottery - you don't really expect to hit the jackpot so any success is an unexpected bonus.

Ditto OP's comment - Jan-Feb should see the arrival of some big nates on my favorite OP rivers. Keeping fingers crossed for friendly weather!

I got out on Wednesday for a few hours, first time since September when I was in Italy.
While it felt good to get back out with the 2 hander, only a moldy chum managed to run into my fly..............

Another site, but... this dudes been banging Sky steel on the fly.

oh yeah...i cant go on that site cause i got banned lmfao...people cant handle the truth on that site. lol

well i got a nice to spey setup so now i can actually swing a fly for more then an hour with out my wrist hurting. OH YEA BABY LOL

Since it's been two months since this was discussed, let's put this up front again. Anybody get 'em on flies recently?

I was out yesterday afternoon on the Sky, went 0-1 while my buddy gat an 8 pound hatchery hen, decent looking fish too.

Looking to get out again this afternoon for some swingin' with the 2 hander in the sun.........

i just got my new switch rod from don a couple days ago. went out yesterday but i dont have a line that the right wt for my rod. BUT i still manages to swing a few flies with it.

didnt touch a thing though like usual.

but the rod felt great and will feel even better when i get a reel and line to balance to everything out.

Swinging flies Friday and Sunday as I posted on the main board. Zero, zip, zilch. Perfect water conditions, undisturbed, first water all day. River was empty in that area, altho it's known to be productive most any other season.

Last Sunday I had two seconds of "YA, BABY!" Followed by a few cuss words and then the shakes for a few minutes after that. Hooked a pretty big fish that left a big hole in the water as it surfaced and let me have my fly back.

2/3 of the way thru the swing. Pretty much right where I thought if I was going to get hit this would be it. You know that tug, TUG, swirl, gone. Snow white belly and all. My buddy upstream saw the swirl on the surface from probably 100 yards away. Oh, well. Heading to the coast for a couple days and then back here for a Sunday float.

i went out today and fished for about an hours. but fishing a quick little river with a floating line kinda sucks. even with big wieghted bunny leaches...

i did however get my very first take from a steelhead. seen it flash and splash the surface after i missed the hookset.

it was awesome.
