This fishery has been around a long time,yet we are unable to harvest. I would like at least a barbless C&R. The masses of people like myself are unable to travel long distances for this fishery. Yet we pay for an fishery thats never open, but the returns are strong. For me, they are in my back yard, yet all I can do is marvel. Im just sick of paying for untapable experiments. Tell me your thoughts. J.C.B

I'm with you.

Last year they opened it for a short while...don't remember exactly how long, but I understand it was quite the boat show.

They also released a lot of fish into a local (warm water) lake, which left most of them dead within a week. Apparently none of these fish were feeling up to the task of striking a plug because there were few if any caught before they were found floating belly up.

Watching all those Wallace R. kings swim by year after year and not being able to target them has been a bitter pill to swallow. I've talked to the area biologist about opening the season and everytime we've spokenthe same theme comes thru.... Go to the North of Falcon meetings and make your voice heard. The old squeeky wheel gets the grease program. One local guy I know of has been at the meetings stumping for us local guys to get a shot at "our" fish and maybe something will come of it. But whatever we get will be very restrictive in scope, like an open area from Monroe to mouth of Sultan R. Better than nothing. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Maybe both...I didn't hear anything about cohos but found this ol' thread......dunno why they'd plant silvers in a lake anyway, when they've got an open fishery in the river.

When were you hitting silvers in the lake? The silvers wouldn't come until much later than the end of June.

Alright T3 (how do I get superscript font on this thing?), spill. That's the second time you've spouted off about a Sky Chinook fishery, and it's about time to come clean, kid. wink

strong rumors it's happening this year, one fish limit, clipped only, between Monroe and Wallace. I have always thought the June steelhead opener was a C&R season on the kings. I have been catching and releasing them since I got my sled anyways. I am also sick and tired of releasing fin clipped, surplus hatchery kings, there is absolutely no reason for it.
And by the way those were kings that went into Blackmans last year.

The only time ya get a shot, is after they are out of element and in shock? NICE! I was under the assumption they are a endangered species. If you are caught targeting them its a huge fine and jail time. Well as with most changes I was left in the dark. The rule pamphlet is obsolete and just as misleading as ever. rolleyes confused J.C.B

A number of people have been lobbying for a recreational fishery on these fish this year. Sam Ingram from the Sky Valley TU Chapter in particular. Although it's not offical yet it looks good for a June 1 to July 31 season, one marked fish limit between the mouth of the Wallace to the Lewis Street Ramp on the Skykomish. These are hatchery summer chinook salmon. This is only about seven miles of river so expect lots of company if it happens. We've been trying to get WDFW to open it all the way to the confluence however WDFW is real reluctent on that. They claim there is a risk of possible interception of straying Snoqualmie fish and the inability to monitor or enforce the lower river.

If this fishery happens this would be a good time for some self-enforcement of the laws from the recreational fishers. Reporting the snaggers, the bonking of unmarked fish, people taking more then their limits etc. If there is a lot of illegal behavior and due to the limited capacity of WDFW's enforcement division (due to budget constraints) they just might say no to future openers. Let's keep it a clean fishery!

Last year they didn't open it till after most of the fish were already in the Wallace, mid July I think, and fishing was tough. They did try to plant some of these chinook into Blackmans Lake in Snohomish however from what I heard these fish didn't bite well there and ultimately died.

I dont believe those are springers.
I think they are summer run kings.
