The main Stillagumish River opened today for the retention of pink salmon. We have already had a number of individuals in that had caught their limits this morning. Most everyone that we chatted with was fishing the Silvana are and below. Everyone said that there were lots of fish in the river and everyone was hooking fish. It looks like we have a little rain coming in later in the week and over the weekend. A little rain would be good, but too much will put the river out of shape and unfishable. Only time will tell if it goes out.
Remember: The Stillagumish is a selective fish regulations stream, allowing only barbless single hooks with no bait and no scent. It is a four salmon limit with only a two silver limit, all Chinook must be released.
The pink fishery will be at its peak from now until around the 20th of the month, with some pinks still available into the first part of October. (Though they won't be in the best of shape.)
