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!
Since the June 1st opener of the Snohomish River System life has been good to great for the local fisherman. The Skykomish River has been showing consistent results for summer-run steelhead and king salmon. These fish come in almost everyday on the bell curves due to the snow melt and rain. This means chrome-bright, sea liced, scrappy fish that fight like crazy every day!
Here’s a brief fishing report and photos from Kim‘s trip to Alaska. She says the 934 downrigger from our CCA Series has been awesome up there!
Todd proves that the Snohomish River system and Lake Sammamish are still happenin’!
