East Side Trout.... Now back to the Pink salmon.



Dallas and Julie. A Nice West slope caught at the put-in.

We had some great weather and found some nice fish fishing trout on Eastern Wa. The best part was they were only hitting dries! We tried the hopper/dropper flie combo but eventually took the droppers off cause they were just getting in the way.
During one of the trips we caught 3 different species of trout and what we thought at first was a huge trout that turned out to be just a whitefish. I have a few husband/wife combos on each trip that were a true pleasure to fish with.
One of the things I enjoy the most about this summer fishery is wet wading in warm weather, not to mention watching nice fish roll over a big dry fly.

With Cook slough closed on the Stilly (boooo, I know that they are doing this to improve the fish ladder and probably had to use some funding before they lost it but bad timing!) we have changed our lower stilly drifts so we could still fish tidewater humpys and sea run cutts.

Fresh Pinks!
Check out our Humpy sampler for some trick pink salmon flies. http://streamsideflyshop.com/samplers.htm

Pink Salmon: great for beginners, family and anybody that likes to CATCH fish: Most spots you can Keep 4 fish for the BBQ.
The Pinks are being caught around area beaches. They have been streaming into our local rivers and the lower sections of the Sky and Skagit is open tomorrow the 16th! The Stilly opens on Sept 1st.
We are booking trips now and have some good dates available. We are looking to book up to 3 people per trip. These are $150 PP. If your a single and want to get out for a good price that is a great way to go. We have lots of people looking for partners.  
Sea run Cutts - Now on the Stilly inquire for dates.
