New Fishing Hole BUT where?

This section is in the Skagit System!

Any guesses?

I'll try a few...

Elliot Creek
Illabot Creek
White Creek

Kinda the ol' shotgun approach!

Fish on...

Try lower down River.

Homer You cant be getting those pictures out of a helicopter your to close to the tree's so you must be pretty darn good at climbing tree's.

Nice pictures

Cascade River

Gilligan Creek.

Starts with a "B", ends with a "UTT"...

H2H,

OK, I'll bite. How many guesses do we get?

E F Nookachamps, Walker, and Cumberland come first to mind. But it's hard to scale the stream channel and those trees to better estimate the range of likely candidates.

No

No

No :p

It's a picture of Finney Creek.

I bet I fooled you guys by climbing up in the trees!

I have some more which I will post later.

If you hadn't answered so quickly I would of said that creek. As that was or looked like as to where I did some fishing this fall. Like I said fishing ----no catching

Jim

So Jim, you fish above the falls.

I have fished it down low, in the middle before they closed off the road and I have been up high. I didn't know there was a falls on the creek. Gonna have to check that out. Liked the area up in the hills the best.

Jim

Its not spey water, I know that.

The picture was taken about 6 miles up Finney Creek Road.

The falls is about 200 yards down stream from where I took the pic from. The water up there is skinny, some places only 20 feet wide and over places 60 feet wide.

But a real nice area to explore!

Homer, I'd sooner expect to see Bigfoot, D.B. Cooper, and Osama Bin Laden sharing a flask and debating fly patterns on the bank of the creek than to see you up in a tree taking pictures!

Fish on...

I can climb trees like a monkey, you just never seen me do it.

Looks like the pic was taken from the one lane concrete bridge looking up stream. Am up there alot. As a kid we used to go up there and it was fantastic for trout but isn't as great as in the " good ol days" . Where do you throw in all the carcasses at out of curiousity?

H2H,

Finney was one of my first guesses, but I didn't think you'd be carcass bombing that far upstream. Plus, the little gravel bar on the left bank wasn't something I rememeber being there.

What is the purpose for pitching that high up? Does it help the trout and ll up there in addition to moving down stream?

Over a hundred different plants and animals species depend on salmon to live, most of those from the nutrients released after the salmon has spawned and died. Hatchery fish, which return mostly to hatcheries and are not allowed to spawn in rivers, are not contributors to ecosystem health to near the level of wild fish.

Keep on chuckin!!!!
