Skykomish Steelheading - Reiter Ponds

Though most of the Puget Sound streams are closed to fishing as of this Past Monday (January 31 st) there are still some terminal fisheries that are still open through February 15 th. The upper Skykomish from the Big Eddy Access / High Bridge up to the forks at Index is still open. Though most of the hatchery fish are through there are a still few that are being caught at Reiter Ponds. We have not been hearing any "Great" reports over the past couple of days but there are still a handful of steelhead being caught every day. John was up there this AM and gave me a call from the river, he had landed a smaller hatchery fish and had a nice wild fish of around 17 pounds to hand.
