"Just another day on the pond"
Man, you would think there isn't much going on this past week, with monsoon Mary going through.
A time of reflection:
As the rains continued to pour last week, it was evident I was washed out of my up coming river trips. Oh well, I would head to our private lakes the tomorrow. I took the rare opportunity to handle some Honey-do's around the house. So as I am burning the trash in the rain, I find myself moping over the loss of our Tidewater schools on the weekend. It dawns on me; Our south eastern seaboard is flattened and decimated by hurricanes and torrential rains, and I am worried about a few fishing trips.
"The man worried that he had no shoes, until he met the man, who had no feet".
The Skagit River has only marginal fishing conditions as we speak, but tons of fish and even more anglers are huddling around the Cascade River below the hatchery. Summer steelhead are there, but mostly it is a Silver salmon show.
These Coho are throughout the Skagit system, now.
"Steelhead can be fooled if you can show them something a little different." The best experience in freshwater is fishing surface flies. You would be amazed how well it works. Try it, when everybody else is throwing the book at them.
