Skykomish Sultan to Monroe Drift

Post by Mike Carey » Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:20 pm

Our final segment of the river system is filmed in this video. This drift is approximately 7.5 miles and can be shortened by putting in or taken out at Ben Howard. A beautiful day and some decent action for moderately colored silvers. BTW, I smoked mine and they turned out delicious! Thanks to NateTreatFishing.com for taking us out.

Looks like a decent day. Great smokers there! Did you short float eggs the whole time?

I went 3 for 5 all floating eggs. Kept the two brightest, tossed a true firetruck back and lost two.
I tossed Dick Nites and wiggle warts every now and then but got no action on either.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

same here. No interest in my spinners or Nate's plugs, only had action on eggs.
