From Salmon back to Steelhead...

Nick's Big Ass Humpy

I have been fishing every day this month so the blog is a bit behind. More like catching! There is lots of fish and it has been killer. Mostly pinks but have caught dollys, sea run cutts, silvers, a random steelie, and a older king that peeled off most of one guys line till we broke it off.

I am headed over to the Grande Ronde for a few weeks for some steelhead this Sat. Pop's has been there for most of a week. He said that the water is low but they were finding multiple fish each day. Most on dries.

After the G.R. I will fish Chum/silvers/dollys in between trips to the Methow for steelhead. I do have availability for those, the G.R. stuff is booked up.

Fall is a good time to be a fishermen. Get out and get some!

Pinks are streaming into the rivers now.


We fished the opener on the lower Stilly for salmon yesterday. We have a way to float/motor the lower section with some private launch access. The river way busy but guys spread out a bit.
We found a lot of bright fresh fish. Most are coming in with the last tide. You will have a spot that is quiet then all of a sudden a pod of fish will roll in and rods will go down. We saw sea lice and chrome sides. We did spot some coho and a few lucky anglers around got one. 
Now the skykomish river is open till Sultan so guys have a few more float and walk-in options there.
Last minute partner needed for September the 13th for salmon - free flies with booking.
