Went down to the skokomish. Found a decent hole away from the special people that fish at the road. Fished with some great guys.

One lucky guy left with 3 chrome silvers (no, they were NOT chums, they had small teeth, black spots on their back, etc. etc.)

I myself brought two chums into shore, lost one to a WONDERFUL Cabela's swivel that the chum ripped apart (it was a new swivel), the whole pack of swivels has been awful. Eagle claw swivels work way better. I was using bright yellow yarn with a black corky and small yellow corky above it to make a nice contrasting presentation. Seemed to work well for me.

My GF hooked into two chum as well, and on her last cast as we were leaving, her two month old Berkley AIR IM8 lost a chunk off the end of it, right between the 2nd and 3rd rings. Really strange, a 3" section was just missing.

New people: If you don't know what casting in order means, please ask someone, they'll happily explain it to you.

Thanks for the report, I was planning on fishing maybe here this weekend, but I am getting reports that the river is on flood watch...
I echo your comment about casting order. It can be frustrating to no end.

Guys you should probably check http://waterdata.usgs.gov/wa/nwis/uv/?site_no=12061500&PARAmeter_cd=00060,00065 before you head out to any river. When you see it nearing flood stage, generally means you won't catch anything. Flood stage is represented by the red line on the bottom chart.

River Will flood tonight between 0000 and 0200. it will be back down to 14 ft on saturday. i am going on Saturday because this flood stage means the fish will hold in the hood canal until it calms down and there will be a lot of fish waiting. it has worked for me before, it will work again

People need to learn to cast after the guy below them casts. and not to long line everyone below them. It gets annoying. Ive only fished the skokomish once. but it wasn't hard to figure out. Very good fishery. Wish people had more respect for the follow fisherman(at all rivers).

Peace.....Jerm
