Nick Petosa emailed the following photo and reports from the Skagit - as you can see there are still plenty of nice Coho to be caught. This is a time of the year that we have some outstanding fishing with very little pressure. Just "Way" to many things to do this time of year!
The Skagit system is by far one of the most under publicized fisheries, although the Skagit is one of the best late producers for large chrome Coho. Today fishing was great we hooked 12 Coho by 8:30 taking home a nice limit of fish for these happy customers of mine. Fishing techniques can widely vary from area to area on the Skagit but, top producers include Vibrax Spinners in size 4 and 5 in colors red,met purple, Pink and Char, aside from spinners you can also throw Brads wigglers in fire tiger and any variation on Met. Pink. Jigs are often used in my boat in some of the steeper area's that feature big drops where we need to get down in a hurry, Teds has a great selection on 3/8 oz Northwest jigs. Good colors to fish are Black, purple or Pink, or a variation of mixing them. I have some spots open for some fantastic Coho action! We will also be doing Coho/ steelhead trips where we will fish silvers in the morning and fish steelhead in the afternoon... Please get in contact with me if interested.
