Skykomish Steelheading

With the fair fishing yesterday and the first good weather that we have had in quite some time there was quite a number of anglers fishing the upper Skykomish today.  Those that were fishing the Reiter Ponds section of the river saw a number of bright winter run steelhead landed, though the numbers of fish landed versus the angler numbers did not equate to a high catch percentage.  We did have one of the regulars that managed to catch his limit this AM.  Another managed to hook a couple but did not manage to land either one.

There were a great number of anglers fishing the Wallace River section of the Skykomish playing with the last of the chums.  Those that were in the area said the fish were for the most part looking quite tired.  I would have to say the chum fishery is on it's last leg.
