Northwest Fishing Reports

So will cascade have steel and springers at the same time? What about sky

If you wait till springers open on the sky you can fish for both and have good succes

The Kings are open June first on the Sky. Ive seen people catch jacks on June 1.

The Cascade does not have a hatchery summer run of steelhead. You will catch dolly varden and kings. The Skykomish will have steelhead and kings in it, early season is very good if you find concentrations of fish, throughout June it will pick up. They tend to hold in the lower sections of the river through Monroe, and will push higher towards the Sultan as numbers increase. For the kings having a boat is going to catch you a lot more fish though. The best places for them in the early season will be at the Ranch and Cracker bar, Al Borlin in Monroe and the Prison Hole. They like deep and big water, and will tend to go lockjaw later in the day. The Skykomish will be pretty good, but for access the Cascade is going to be your friend. Get there EARLY and claim your spot.

cascade gets "summer runs" in september and october but they are either really early winters or strays from the stilly or something.

Think my buddies wanna hit cascade for kings in June

I've posted WANTED posters of Natetreat,Fishingfreak,Kochmandoo,DannyL Eamon Hoffman at all local stores and eateries along the Sky. I got my eyes watching on y'all. I warned people that you' ve already caught your share and more. Too many in fact . I explained you left nothing for anyone else. ...

Them cascade kings bite way better then there skykomish cousins, I cant wait to get up there and get some big ol piggies on!!

Were in trouble boys. Cascade here we come

Yep the cascade fish bite really well... Only problem? You cant go past the hatchery hole in the high water and theres 80 guys in each hole... I got 6 on opener last year but i could only cast every 5 minutes with all the floats and fish on... Hopefully ill be backtrolling the skagit for um on the opener

how do the people across from the hatchery hole do, think I might just fish that side on the opening weekend.

I'll be on the Sky from June 1st on. I plan on taking time off this season for some good salmon action. Okay Okay so I lied. No wanted posters. Hehehe And Nate I might take you up on that offer. Lets see how my mula is. Im getting ready to pour concrete for a new longer driveway. As it stands now I have to fit my 7' wide boat in a 7'3'' driveway. Im widening and going longer.

I hooked about 8 or so and only landed 1 with two trips last year, darn noodle rod has no power to fight fish

Water is in snowmelt runoff, 3-4000 cfs. Its wayy to fast, water is just blowing right by over there, nobody really fishes it that ive seen, but the chute above produces fish

well I was just thinking that since it would be easier to go fish the island stretch upstream from that side as well or go downstream to that bank across from no trespassing beach below the hatchery. would springers be in the same spots as coho? also I heard they put no trespassing signs at the little eddy all through that stretch for some reason

I have no idea on access on the cascade and dont really wanna fish with 80 guys in one hole so ill be at the sky, hopefully there will be some biters there!

ill probably launch the sled at marble mount and run down river so i can have a chance at some fish before danny goes thru there! haha

Then about the 3rd week of june ill switch to the sky when the kings are good and thick and hopefully feel like biting. eggs and a spin glow+jet diver= bouncing it off there face
