Stillagumish North Fork

There has not been an exceptional amount of pressure up there this week.  The reports that we have been getting have shown at least some fair fishing for those putting in their time in the Fortsen area of the upper river.  This week the catch has been a mix of left over summer runs and some nice bright winter fish.  There were a number of guys that did walk out with limits of fish.  With an increase in the plant due back this season we should see some better fishing than we have seen in quite a number of years.  This like many other Puget Sound steelhead streams have fallen on hard times.  This stream used to be one of the top ten steelhead streams in the state.  I spent a good many of my younger days fishing the North Fork.
