Skykomish High Bridge to Sultan

by Mike Carey, December 17, 2011

The section of the Skykomish river below the High Bridge to the town of Sultan is an approximately eight mile long stretch of water. Because jet boats can only go up a few miles, this area is an excellent drift for pontoons and driftboats. Rated class 1-2, the most challenging run is just below the train bridge at the put in. Lot's of great holding water for steelhead and chum and plenty of privacy await you! Filmed December 2011.

What was the river flow for that day? Looking at hiting it up for the first time.

It was low, I think 1700. Took all day to drift through and that limited fishing opportunities.

If I remember correctly it was actually about 1400 cfs(5'). With that low flow and the shorter daylight it really was a dark to dusk run with only a few stops. If you do it, bring a headlamp just in case( we forgot ours)!
