Skykomish - Water Dropping Fast - Fishing Still Holding Up

With the colder weather hitting us and the lack of rain the Skykomish is on a fast drop. The steelhead fishing has still been holding up in the Reiter Pond section of the river. John, who works for us was up Tuesday afternoon and managed to hit 6 and landed 4 in the course of a couple of hours. One of the customers who spent the day up there managed to beach 5 for the day. So, as you can see there are still a number of fish to be caught. With the lower water you will more than likely have to start refining you gear and drop down both in lure size and leader strength. John is a strong advocate of utilizing Fluorocarbon leader due to its lack of visibility in the low clear water. As far as brand goes he uses Seaguar, which all of us here at Ted's agree that it is the best on the market. Feel free to stop by and ask John for his steelhead tricks, he will be glad to help you out.
