AND THATS THE OFFICIAL WORD ON SKY/SNO SILVERS

Well I just got off the phone with Kent at Ted's Sporting Goods in lynwood. He swears the Sno/sky are open for Silvers. He said he found out on the fishing hotline( which is down for maint. at the momment ). He also mentioned folks are getting some large silvers on the sno to 13 lbs.

Guess its time to fire up the sled!

Now I'm mad, because I let go a nice silver around 8 lbs. this morning in Monroe. Two boats went by me and also caught and released fish too. I mentioned the opening rumor and one guy even called Sky Valley Trader (i think) to see if it was open and they told us that it was closed for sure. darn

The Sky and the Snoho both are open for silvers. Call 360-902-2500, the fishing Hotline at the DFW, then you will get the info for yourself.

I believe the change came Saturday in the A.M.

The Sky is open from the mouth to the mouth of the Wallace.

Good fishing guys

Doubletake

The Skagit is also open and Lake Wash. is under consideration.Don't git all giddy boys.This probably means the rivers are open to nets as well.
