Our Book is done -

Brian's Big Skagit Dolly Varden

 Our Book is done (finally). Editing our writing was not fun, I pitty the fool. You can buy it at Barnes and Noble for the Nook or on the Kindle. It is made up of stories or that revolve around our guiding or fishing experiences. We tried to make it light harted with some funny stuff. Check it out and let us know what you think, unless you don't like it then you can kiss it : )
 
I am really looking forward to some peninsula fishing, I had one of my best seasons last year. We caught some nice WILD Steelhead. I will be focused on the Queets River but will also fish the Upper Quinault, Clearwater, Hoh, Boggi, And Sol Duc. 
I do have some availability but weekend dates are becoming limited. I''ll start fishing out there from Feb 15th and end around April 30th.
Peninsula School Dates are Feb 24 -26th with some availability.

I do have a guy looking for a partner to split a trip on Saturday Feb 18th.

If you area single and want to do a trip let me know some dates that work for you I'll probably be able to hook you up with a partner.

Locally we have some casting classes and a 5 hour fishing class float trip on the Sky - Both have availability - check the links on our home page for info.
NEW - We will be doing some 4-5 hr lakes classes starting April 15th through the summer. Multiple lakes around the sound to choose from. Also look for our 3 day Methow trout trip. I am putting a page together for that too.

See ya,  Mike & Dennis Dickson

I have been fishing the Skykomish and Skagit for the past month. On the Sky I have been floating from High Bridge to Sultan or doing walk-ins above high bridge. I have seen most of the fish come the Reiter area. The further away I got the slower the fishing was.
On the Skagit we have hooked a couple steelhead but the expected target would be Dolly Varden. The up side of catching the dollys is you can expect to catch multiple fish and this is the time of year I find some of the biggest ones, a few days ago we caught one that was 7+ pounds. I literally thought it was a salmon for a few minutes.
Most of the local rivers will shut down on Feb 1st and Feb 15th in some areas. No Catch and release season. I;m not sure if we will ever get that back. It seams like we get a little less each year.
