"While you fish" BBQ lunch provided on full-day trips!
Summer is a knockin' and I'm fired up to start catching summer
chinook and summer steelhead in the Skykomish river! Draining the north cascade mountains, the Skykomish river is located 35 minutes east
of Seattle near the town of Monroe, WA.
We had a great season last summer with good average daily
catches of both chinook and steelhead, a derby winning "triple hook-up", and delicious BBQ lunches!
The best fishing generally occurs between June 1st and July 15th but many
years the fishing is good until July 31st. Back-up fishing locations will be available for when the Skykomish slows down.
*SKAGIT RIVER - The Skagit will have its first summer chinook fishery in over
20 years starting July 9th, Friday through Sunday closing on August 9th. I will spend one week dialing in this fishery and
will tenatively be offering trips there-after. Please inquire!
I will be offering full-day trips until we reach capacity, then I will be adding
evening trips after our day trips. These gentleman took advantage of just that!
The techniques we use work great for BOTH the chinook and the steelhead! If the fish stays
deep and pulls lots of line its a chinook, but if it makes two quick circles around the boat and fly's out of the
water...STEELHEAD!!!
These trips are full day guided outings
with all gear, tackle, boat, bait, fuel, and a BBQ lunch provided. $175.00 per angler/day, $125.00 per angler/half-day
(available at my desrection).
Our Skykomish river start times are around 6:30am, meeting locations will be in the
vicinity of Monroe, WA. Skagit River trips stay tuned for more info or inquire...
The fish...
On the Skykomish we will be allowed to retain two hatchery fish per
person, one may be a chinook.
On the Skagit we will be allowed one adult chinook, hatchery or wild.
Steelhead will most likely not be part of our catch on the Skagit.
As always I will fillet your catch for you at the end of your trip.

These happy customers did well on limited time! This photo of 3 steelhead and 2 chinook was taken
at 11:30am!
Coming up this August 16th and going through September we will be getting a larger than average return of super
aggressive, good fighting Pink salmon (or Humpies) to our local rivers! WDFW has forecasted this years run to be 5.1 million fish!
This tops the 2007 run of 3.1 million fish, and the fishing that year was ridiculous!
I will be offering full-day trips early on, but will switch to half-day trips sometime in the third week of
August (catching will get that good!). This run only comes every odd year, so book a date while you have the chance at this incredible run of
fish.
Fly Fisherman!!! This is also a great opportunity for catching salmon on the fly rod!
We are averaging about 5 sturgeon per trip. We have had as many
as 10 sturgeon caught in one trip and fishing should keep going strong thru mid June!
DATES STILL AVAILABLE!!!
May 16th - June 11th, 2009
Trips depart out of the Seattle, WA area.
Pine Lake Kids Fishing!
Wow, what a great season it has been! With over 20,000 thousand trout planted this
year in Pine Lake, our kids fishing outings were out-of-control! The average number of fish caught per 2.5 hour outing was 18 trout!!!
We will be offering these outings through June and have space available.
