No theres not. Theres no fish up on the skagit anywhere. Totally dead due to low water. Stick to the snohomish is probably your best bet [wink] :^o

No fish in the Snohomish system this year, heavy netting at the mouth and crone deseize has put salmon prospects at zero for the year. Skagit is a much better bet for fish.

Nope, no fish in the Snohomish, Skagit and Duwamish are your best bet. In fact, everyone go to the Duwi, no fsih anywhere except the Duwi. They're all at the 112th bridge. Go there. Everyone go there, easy limits! The fish are practically throwing themselves on the stringer!

I happened to be in that area yesterday for work and stopped by in the late morning and they were slaying them at 112th st. they did have to cast out to catch the fish.

o i see whats going on here, being sarcastic, YES Theres A ton of fish in the Duwamish, you can litterally walk on them.
Theres is absolutely no fish in the skagit, snohomish, or carbon. Better off buying fish from the markets

The skagits empty as can be. the indians were down there today and they didnt even need nets. they would just anchor up and the fish would just jump into their boat and give up. i do not think we have a chance this year
