I run a 20' jet boat and was looking on launching in the lower Skagit. Any suggestions? I've heard Edgewater but parking could be brutal on a busy day.

Edgewater is one of the best. Even when super busy you can usually find a place to park, although you might have to walk 2 or 3 minutes if you have to park in an upper lot.

Gardner Rd in Burlington is also good but just as packed.

You can also put in at the Potato Shed Hole off County Farm Rd (Penn Rd) out of Mount Vernon.

While I haven't used it in a long time if you want to fish the South Fork (with easy access to the main and North Forks) there is the Fir Island Bridge in Conway.

launch at blakes, egdewater is a good bet, gardner rd launch in burl has parking for 50 or so truck/trailers. its gonna be crowded just about everywhere

Thanks to both TC's! I'll try the edgewater and hopefully see you guys on the water. This will be the first time in the lower skagit. Gotta try sometime might as well be this weekend. fish on!

no crowds this weekend, just muddy water and talk of indians planning to net 10,ooo lbs by tomorrow
