Skagit River Update
This is an update on the Skagit River trip.
The salmon fishing season ends October 31. For the past few years WDFW has extended the season. When they do this, it is usually in the first few of days of November. Scott and Branden at Confluence Fly Shop both are not optimistic about an extension happening this year due to fish counts and fishing pressure. So we will just have to wait a few days and see what happens.
The Skagit is open for other fishing, but bull trout cannot be fished above Rockport.
If the extension does not happen, then we will cancel this trip. Most guys don't want to stand in the rain in 35 degree weather to maybe catch a trout. But they would do it for a coho or chum.
So stay tuned. We will see what WDFW does.
Cheers
Bill
