Toms killer summer run steelie
The Sky is producing some fish if you put in a little time. Tom hooked this fish in the upper float and it wouldn't stop screaming the reel. We had to chase it down river quite a ways. One of the bigger summer steelies I have seen in a while. The river is running clear with a little green tint with nice flows.

I have also fished a few local lakes in the last couple weeks. Blackmans Lake was decent with some good sized fish. The planted 250 triploids right before fathers day. Lake Cassidy wasn't real good, caught some crappie and a couple small trout. Lake fishing gets a little slower in the warmer months with eves being my favorite time to fish.

If you are in the area check out the The Confluence fly shop in Bellingham -  http://www.theconfluenceflyshop.com/ as for Scott. He's a good dude and seasoned angler that knows his stuff.

I have 1 guy looking for a partner on the Methow for trout on August 2nd. Dry flies and warm weather! Let me know if interested.

On the horizon we have some casting and lakes fishing classes.

The rivers are looking good. The little bit of run off we have has been simmering and the rivers have dropped into normal flows.

The Skykomish has been producing a decent number of hatchery fish with some wilds sprinkled in. Traditionally from now on you start to see even more of the wild fish showing. The majority don't come in as early as the Hatchery fish.

The north fork of the Stillaguamish in running clear above the slide, below the slide it's dirty but fishable. The main stem and the South fork look great.

The Skagit is running clear above the Sauk. The Sauk is running dirty so the Skagit below the Sauk is colored up but fishable the further down the river you go.

I have a couple spots open for our Skykomish summer steelhead school on the 21st and 22nd. It's $169 pp.

Also fathers day is coming soon. I am doing a fathers day discount from now through fathers day. $50 off a guide trip and a gift sampler of a dozen flies. Get at me if you need a Gift Certificate. The trip can be taken any time in the next year. Shoot me a email and mention the "fathers day deal"  Streamsideflyshop@yahoo.com
