The Outdoor Line Forum

Well i headed out a little late this morning, Left Evrott at 5:30. Took me about an hour and 20 to get there. There was already people leaving when i got there with sad stories. But i know that those spring/summer kings aren't really day light biter's. So i pick out one of my rigs since i don't have eggs, i go with a yarn ball that i tied up Glen Hall style with a corkie with egg and salt shrimp smelly jelly on it. 7:15 hits and its fish on after about 15 casts and im the first one with a fish. Fight it onto the bank, give it the wood shampoo.


Seen a 3 or 4 more kings hooked and a bunch of small steelhead and dollies. Didn't seem to be any one spot that was hot.



Just hope that the warm weather coming doesn't blow the rivers out.

First north cascades springer for me


A 3rd full so far.


The beginning of something tasty. Cedar plank with fresh fish. Just salt and pepper, don't need much with a good king. It was good.

Awesome Jerm...nice work!

Sounds like a great opener on the Skagit!
I think you're right on the money though.
If it cranks up to 75 or 80 by Sunday, the cricks will be bank to bank with snow melt!

What, no invite for dinner? Great report, I will however disagree with one thing. While I don't want the rivers blown, I NEEEED that worm weather, we are do!!

Oh man.........now I have to pull some springer out of the freezer. Nice job Jerms!

Thanks guys.



Good times up north. Got skunked Thursday, but that just how it goes for these spring/summer fish.



The good weather is here Rob, enjoy bro.
