Hello all,

I found a fly wallet on trail near a small creek leading to the Skagit on the 6th of this month. I made a post seaching for the owner on the Skagit River Report Facebook page, but did not have any replies. A good suggestion was made by Bruce that I post here as well. Is anyone missing their fly wallet?

If there are no takers it will be donated for the Christmas auction. Who knows? Perhaps the flies contained within will be top secret dynamite for a future salmon trip. Hope everyone is having a great fall!

Just testing out this improved feature of our website. If anyone has any comments, please feel free to chime in. Share Info has been a great tool in the past and hopefully, it is even better now.

FYI, all the old posts were brought forward with this change so we shouldn't have lost anything. If you notice anything weird, please let me know.

Going fly fishing at skagit river at riverbend sandbar Thursday. Concrete river guage at 14.64 at 945 pm Wednesday.

This is excellent for fly fishing, caught 2 between 430 and 5pm. Fish started rolling at 4pm. Will be even better Thursday with falling levels. Mid 14's allow wading out further and increase ability to reach proper seams.

Fishing log to date Wednesday Sept 3rd.

Prospected viewed North and west beaches at Deception Pass. 1/2 hour viewing at each on Friday 8.15. No fish rolling or jumping.

Opening day Sat 8.16, fished Ala spit for one hour, 3 cars, another fly fisher saw one roll. Caught 6" sculphin.

Mon 8.18, fished early am for 1 hour, high turbitity, zero strikes.

Wed 8.20 , fished early am for 1 hour, muddy and zero strikes.

Fri 8.22, early am, fished 1 hour zero strikes.

For those of you going to the St. Joe next week, please check the weather forecast as daytime high temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are currently forecasted. Plan on bringing extra beer and other alcoholic beverages, plus ice.

I am wanting to go fishing over on the Missouri River over by Craig, MT. Maybe late September or early October. I am flexible. Anyone interested in going? Call me or respond 36-333-8538

I am headed to the Methow River to go fishing on July 28 until August 3. I will be staying at the Riverbend RV Park just north of Twist. My plan is to float or wade depending on water levels and temperatures. Anyone interested in a day or whatever, let me know. We can coordinate some fishing.

Current Water Quality 

Toxic algae has returned with longer summer days and higher water temperatures. The bloom will likely continue through the summer, fueled by phosphorus release from the sediments in the deeper parts of the lake. A sample collected on June 7th had an anatoxin concentration of 242 ug/L, which is well above the recreational contact guideline for the Department of Health of 1 ug/L. Therefore, avoid contact with the lake water; keep children, livestock and pets away; if eating caught fish, clean them well and discard guts; be aware of symptoms of toxic algae poisoning (skin and eye irritation, gastrointestinal and neurological issues, potential liver damage and other serious health problems). The County will continue to sample the lake for toxins through the summer. You can see the results here: https://www.nwtoxicalgae.org 

I’m looking for an Orvis Battenkill II fly reel. I prefer the disc drag version if possible and am hoping to match the reel with a 3-4wt bamboo fly rod.

Many thanks, Bill Keeler
