Talked with both John of Rotten Chum Guide Service this afternoon and Jim Stahl of J & J Guide Service to see how the first day of the Pink Salmon Fishing season was for the both of them. Both of them had limits for thier clients, though both ended up with limits they did really have to work for the fish they landed. Jim fished below Hwy 9 in the tide water and John fished below 522 and down to the mouth of the Pilchuck. Both did well fishing pink lead head jigs.
If you would like to book a trip with either one of them here is their contact information.

We also talked with a number of customers that had fair results fishing on the Snohomish today. Many of them did fairly well fishing smaller 2 or 2 1/2 inch Buzz Bombs or Wannabees in the tidal stretches of the Snohomish as well as the deeper holes in the upper river such as Thomas Eddy.
Most of the fish caught were smaller sized pinks in the 3 - 5 pound range.
