We are about a week into our Coho season up here on the Skagit, and things are looking very promising. Even with the record breaking dry spell we’ve had, we still have good numbers of fishable Coho on the Skagit. Nick Petosa walks us through his process for finding Coho on the Skagit River.
Nick’s a Washington guide specializing in salmon and steelhead on some of the PNW’s most prolific rivers. In addition to guiding and co-hosting Northwest Wild Country radio, Nick fishes sockeye commercially out of Bristol Bay. Scope his bio and check out his upcoming fisheries. Welcome, Nick!
Coho limits on the Snohomish system with Fetha Styx guide Todd Daniels. Hot fishing to get down on in the Seattle area!
The rain dance sure did work this time! Starting in a day or two, and once the rivers drop back into shape, the 2011 coho season should be in full force! Then I’m off to the Snake River to chase around feisty summer-run steelhead and up-river bright chinook salmon! Be sure to catch Bonner’s full report….
It’s almost August and the fishing is GREAT all over Washington State. The Ocean is kicking out fish … the Columbia river from the mouth all the way to Rufus Woods is giving up chromer fish … and the rivers, lakes and reservoirs are all hitting for bass, walleye, trout, steelhead and even panfish … basically it’s ON like Kong!
Well, the last day of the trip was just Kim and I fishing with John, our host. We ended up fishing a short day from 6 a.m. to noon, but got two really nice king’s in the 20 lb. range. It was almost a blessing in disguise after we headed to the fish processing and collected the rest of our bounty before heading home. The total catch was a whopping 185.3 pounds, just in fillets for the flight back! WOW…
Fun day on the water as Glenn Hall joins the Graham family for some true coho slaying in their Alaskan backyard. They have some seriously good spots, especially the last one shown in this episode. Fishing the True Hero series as well!

The Gods have awoken, unleashing a massive amount of water into our Washington State river systems. For all intensive purposes, our winter-run steelhead season will be put on hold for a few days, at least on ALL the main stem …
Speaking of winter-run steelhead, my winter western Washington guide season is up and flying.
