Skykomish Steelhead

Winter steelhead season started on December 1st. We have been getting some fairly good steelhead reports coming out of the Skykomish the past few days. John (who works for us) was up at Reiter yesterday and during the time he was there said that he say perhaps 30 fish being carried out. He managed to land two and lost another. Along with the better fishing there has definitely been quite an increase in the number of anglers. When we opened yesterday one of the customers was sent a photo of three nice winter fish that two of his buddies had already landed, needless to say he was quick to get his gear and bait and get going up there himself.

The reports that we have been getting from the plunkers in the Snohomish has been very good the first pat of the week, but has slowed with the lower & clearer water that we have experienced with water levels dropping.

Hopefully, we will get a little warmer weather and some rain to increase the water flows in the near future and get another shot of fish into the systems.
