post says 4 people, t 2 fish each. Skagit, recently ive been fishing with a buddy in a sled, since ive finally had some free days, but today i guided 3 guys +me and the eddies and below and got 8 fish, saw like 8 other people and NO fish hooked, 7 of our 8 fish swallowed my eggs to the point of having to cut them off because plyers will not reach the hook, theres a lot of fish, getting them to bite is difficult, but ive got the presentation pretty much figured out, it took a few days to figure out how to get um to bite in the eddies, but the weird presentation i figured out is working well :-" :-$

it actually getting really annoying, it needs to rain but it NEVER WILL> so stupid, if we get rain they will bite better longer and the cascade will get fish and thats super easy to slay um, but none in forecast, :thumbdown

You know that's going to happen Danny. When the big rain comes it's going to fill up the fields for days and we'll be stuck on the small rivers. But you gotta take what you can get, I've had great luck high water salmon fishing, and with the floodstage some of my waters put out big numbers while it's on the way down. Regardless once we get some water it's game on. On a lighter note, supposedly we're going to get an El Nino this winter, so it will be warm and dry. Which doesn't bode well for immediate rain, but when it does come it may not be enough to blow the system too bad.
