Steelheading - Reiter Ponds

John spent most of the day fishing the Reiter Ponds section of the Skykomish yesterday (10:00 A.M. till dark) and said that there was no lack of anglers, with over 100 that came and went during the time he was there. We said that he saw perhaps 10 landed during the time he was there. Though he spent a good amount of time there he did not manage to hook anything. One of the customers stopped by yesterday and was on the way out (with a fish) when John was coming in and mentioned that there had been a few other fish landed early, but nothing spectacular! We are in need of a little water to bring in a fresh batch of fish!

The Skykomish below the Sultan has been a little colored up as the Sultan is running high and dirty, apparently the slide in the upper river combined with Snohomish County PUD dumping a lot of water from Spada Reservoir.
