Kris and a Big fresh Skagit Buck
I have been steelhead fishing, cutthroat fishing and salmon fishing in the last couple weeks. The water was very low on the Skykomish and Stilly.
We took a big shot of rain a couple nights ago and the rivers are blown out. The Skykomish will probably come back into shape the fastest.

Look for a lot of salmon to shoot into the rivers now. There was already a bunch but it should be rock'n as the rivers clear up.

We are pretty much booked solid in September, just have Sept 11th open but we are booking for our Grande Ronde Steelhead fishing and Coho/chum/dolly/cutthroat fishing in October and November - some of my favorite fishing. You never know what is going to pull the line tight.

The pinks are starting to hit the rivers. Get your flies here - http://streamsideflyshop.com/flies.htm

If your looking to do some salmon trips this year I would let me know asap, trips are booking up now with the good reports of salmon #'s. Should be a killer year. We will start our salmon trips in early August. Sept 15th - Sept 29th we will do group trips for $175 pp. Make a group or join one.

Marks Methow Cutbow
I just got back from fishing the Methow River. Mostly dry fly action with a nymph or 2 thrown in and in a couple deep pools we swung some big ugly leaches which helped Chris get a bit of action and a big rainbow. I'll be honest on the overall fishing was ok. We had plenty of action to keep us going but we didn't find as many of the big cutthroat that we normally do. When you put that many days on the river it was a noticeable
difference. Not sure why. The weather was warm but we did get a bit more overcast than normal. Still one of my favorite places to be in the summer!

The N.F. of the Stilly is closed for a few weeks due to low water.  Not sure what good that is going to do.
