It was a fine morning to wet a hookless line in the Skagit. It could only have been topped by fishing for real.

Thanks for all who showed up today as my plans collapsed for me unfortunately and I was unable to attend! TY Salmo g. for the update tonight too!!

It must have been a spectacular morning up there today!

Onward and Upward!

A great turnout! Thanks to every one that took the time to make it up to Rockport. It's humbling to see how many folks will show up on a closed river in support of the effort to open it to CnR fishing. We got support from a few angling organizations, Trout Unlimited, Wild Steelheaders United, and the Wild Steelhead Coalition, and I want to thank them and their members that showed up.



This coming Friday, the 10th is the Commissioners meeting in Olympia. The details again:
Occupy Skagit Commissioners Meeting - April 10th 8:30 am
Natural Resources Building
1111 Washington St SE, Olympia, WA - First Floor, Room 172
The main message to WDFW at this time is simple; Get the Skagit Steelhead Management Plan finished and get it submitted to the NMFS/NOAA. Along with that message should be a request for them to take an aggressive stance with the feds regarding the approval process and the length of time they spend getting it done.
Three years and counting...

Brood nailed it when he said there'll be nobody who gives a rats azz about these fish after the fisheries have been closed a substantial period of time.

Both are true.

The Official Sauk Poacher Season used to start in May...now it starts in February.

Fish on...
