Skykomish River - Steelhead and Kings

We have had some fairly good reports on both steelhead and kings coming from the Skykomish the past few days. The king fishing has been fairly good for those fishing the deeper salmon holding water at such spots as the mouth of the Wallace, mouth of the Sultan, Elwel Creek and Thunderbird. Most have been doing best fishing eggs either free drifting, back bouncing or pulling divers and bait. Most of the fish are in the low to mid teens with an occasional fish in the twenties. Steelhead wise, we have been receiving better reports from those fishing the upper river below the Reiter Pond deadline in the Cable Hole or the Proctor Creek area. Fish have been coming from virtually every method from fishing floats and jigs to drift fishing and even throwing spoons. One of the customers stopped by with a couple of nice fish with the largest pushing twelve pounds.
