Why do trolls like you insist on bagging on the skok? I didn't see one fish snagged and retained this year. And I was out there 21 out of the 22 days of this season. There are many other rivers, that people keep snagged fish on. You just don't hear about them you hear about it on the skok because;
1) Its a very popular river.
2) Everybody drift fishes there, other than in the mornings people will throw eggs until others start throwing lead.
If you don't like the way people fish the river, then don't fish it. People like you erk me, but it wont change mine or anyone elses preference on how and where to fish the skok. I flossed, and killed 37 fish for my family out of the skok this year, and around 25 for others. And I can guarantee you, come September 15th, ill do it again.

Re: Skok
I don't know much about flossing either. Seen guys do it but from watching them do it, it seems like they had to let go about 25 fish that were hooked in the belly or tail before they finally hooked one in the face. I also noticed it has 4 parts. Cast, drift, rip, and reel in. Then repeat.
Re: Skok

Re: Skok
What's going in down there is not drift fishing. Throw on a 36" leader then your drift fishing. Much more deadlier tactic for steel.FishBaitThe2nd wrote:I didn't see anyone on here call themselves great fisherman?lost360 wrote:How do guys stand on cliff and rip fish call then self great fishermen ?

Re: Skok
go to the Puyallup right now, use a 8-10ft leader and just drift it with a bead you will learn flossing real quick, it feels just like a bite but the hook is on the outside of the lips and in the cornerfishindude wrote:I don't know much about flossing either.

Re: Skok
Exactly what Brat said. You fish the Puyallup right now with that amount of leader and you will hook fish in the mouth all day. You want to wait for a heavy tug on your line. That is real flossing. What Fish Bait does is also real flossing. I've fished with him before and have never seen him keep a snagged fish. 90 % of fish he hooks are in the mouth. Flossing is a deadly and legal method of fishing if you know how to do it the right way.Brat Bonker wrote:go to the Puyallup right now, use a 8-10ft leader and just drift it with a bead you will learn flossing real quick, it feels just like a bite but the hook is on the outside of the lips and in the cornerfishindude wrote:I don't know much about flossing either.

I don't think I'll make it to the Puke. Going Camping this weekend and I will try the bead thing there. Brat said it works there too. Maybe see you there.

Re: Skok
Fishindude, everything they said is what flossing is. But like King Killer said, 90% of my fish are in the mouth, or really close. Even when I cant see them. I don't rip at the end of my drift, sometimes I do but that's when im in a hurry. At the end of your pull up slowly, (not to slow), and this is much, much more effective then ripping it as hard as you can.
Also- an 8-10ft leader yes a lot of people us it. The longest leader I have ever used is 8ft, and that's when im drifting in a spot that is a quick drop off, or on the other side of a tree (a spot on the skok). My usual leader is about 5 and a half feet. Ive caughten fish on shorter, and on longer. In the morning when I start fishing, my first few casts I don't even rip. Ill cast out, see if my line or lead bumps anything, ill do this until I locate fish, if I don't feel anything, ill cast out again, hold my rod tip up high, and see if there suspended or not. That's some tricks to flossing.

Oh I know they bite with eggs, and 99% of the time kings don't bite on corky/yarn. Ive watched kings, swim and go out of there way to pick up my yarn. I watched it a couple times this year, not often but it happens. I was so shocked I only hooked one of those fish. I grew up in Arizona fishing for bass and catfish, when I came up here drift fishing was the first way of salmon fishing I learned. Ive been doing it ever since. In the last 2 years ive opened up my fishing techniques, I caught a king this year on a jig at hoodsport. Ive caughten salmon on spoons, jigs, spinners, beads, eggs, shrimp, herring, corky, yarn. Just this year I started fishing eggs, I like it, it has its place and time. At the skok early in the morning, and during high tide is the time to use eggs unless you have an entire stretch of river to yourself which doesn't happen a lot. Each technique has its time and place.
If I had 50 fish in front of me, I was throwing eggs, and none of these fish would take my eggs, am I gonna pack up an go home? Heck no. Im gonna clean there teeth.

Re: Skok
Flogging a dead horse (alternatively beating a dead horse, or beating a dead dog in some parts of the Anglophone world) is an idiom that means a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed or otherwise resolved, and any attempt to continue it is futile; or that to continue in any endeavor (physical, mental, etc.) is a waste of time as the outcome is already decided.

It's really not worth the debate, especially on a public forum such as this. Don't think the dept. doesn't see these threads and use them against us in the season setting process. Whether we agree or disagree we as the fishing public need to show a united front if we ever want fair representation at the NOF table. If not then we'll continue to fight over the scraps the tribes & commies leave us
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.
