) I owe to my Broheim a posted report here. June 1st, 2012: Definitely one of the best openers in a long time!! Brought back some memories of guiding up on the Nushagak River in AK and watching the Kings roll their way up the river as the push came in and moving the boat just ahead of the moving fish playing leap frog long enough to catch them on their way up. That was yesterdays opening day on the Skagit. River was on the rise and the fish were flat hauling arse upriver. Honestly can't remember how many we hooked into yesterday but it was a mix of Hatchery and Wild Kings and Wild Steelhead as well. We fished Jigs, Side Drifted Bait and Plugs all day off and on (Johnny like the new Looney Lure plugs!!
)June 2nd, 2012: Back out there again this morning to a high and very colored Skagit. Maybe 2-3 feet of visibility at over 9,000cfs. Definitely had to change up today to some high water techniques fishing totally different water than yesterday. Basically had to find some fish hiding spots away from the high flows and debris. Cascade River was puking today!! Managed to hook into 3 nice Kings again today... They're here!!... Let's just hope here today and not gone tomorrow, especially for our "Wounded Warriors In Action" trip scheduled for next weekend. Hope to see some of you there June 9th at "Howard Miller Steelhead Park" for our WWIA Chili Feed and raffle!! We have some great raffle items donated from "Ted's Sport Center" ,"Lamiglas", "Three Rivers Marine", "Holiday Sports" and more!!
Here's some of the fish porn I bombarded Robbo and Big T. with yesterday along with a couple pics from today's fish:
