While perusing the current fishing regulations the other day during a period of seated heavy meditation, I noticed that the s. fork Skokomish river appears to be open for catch and release, selective gear rules fishing June 1 - Oct 31 from the mouth to LeBar creek. A couple of questions:
1) Am I interpreting this correctly?
2) Has anyone fished it recently and if so, how was it?
I pose these questions only because I thought it was closed to all recreational fishing below the hwy due to the ongoing legal battle with the Skokomish tribe claiming the river to be tribal property. I would be interested to know if anyone has gotten any flack from tribal or state influences while trying to legally fish on the river.
I may give it a go soon just to see.
Thanks for any replies.
