WOW what a thanksgiving weekend if only more fish were caught. Fished the cascade friday to today and only landed 1 little 5lb buck. Not that many fish being caught for how many fisherman there and there are a lot of people out with only about 6-8 being landed give or take except today had a few more. Seems like most were got on eggs and other tactics were doing good but most fish were caught where the hatchery creek drops in and that stretch to the rapids. Some big fish in there too and hatchery had one in it that looked to be 16lbs at least. Water was very clear even after the rains on thursday and friday. Good luck!

I wonder why the cascade has been so packed the last two seasons? More guys than I have ever seen up there. Used to be a nice place to fish with lots of elbow room, not so much any more..glad you bonked one

yeah I noticed that too, lots of publicity I guess from magazines and fishing reports like such, last year was not that bad in later part of december and february there is like no one except hardly any fish though. But 3 days for one fish is not good fishing especially when I fished an easy 8-10 hours each day except for today I only fished 4. Quality of fish are there too just not the quanity yet, another week or 2 and it should start heating up. Plenty of places to fish without elbow room on the skagit for sure haha, tough fishing out there though.
