Skykomish River – Sultan, Washington

Posted by EARTHangler on June 25th, 2011

Fished the Skykomish River for Steelhead just East of Sultan, Washington. Fished float rigs for 2.5 hours spin cast with various pink & orange jigs sunk under an indicator. Caught nothing. There was about 6-7 sleds going up & down the river, & about 12-15 waders on the south side of the river. I only saw 1 fisherman hook a good size one from shore about 10:30am, nice fish.

GPS:47.859912,-121.812783
Time: Saturday, June 25, 2011, 8:30-11:00am
Weather: 52 F
Water: 46 F, High, swift , & a bit cloudy still
Access: Great
Rig: Steelhead float with jigs
Notes: This is a great place to fish, close to Seattle and surrounds

    A glutton for punishment, for sure. I think I’ll try it again this weekend. I am going to leave the inept steelhead rigs & spinner at home & simply concentrate on fly fishing.
    Have any tips on Skykomish fly fishing? Has anyone been trying it along Ben Howard?
