FISHING: Fair

Fishing Conditions: The weather has been all over the board. Many storm cells, snow levels have actually dropped. Water temps in the Skagit on Thursday and Skykomish on Saturday were both hovering around 50 degrees. Water has been down and in. Fish are around.
Skagit River: 5210 cfs. On a slight rise as we speak. Water very fishable from Rockport up, but total yuck below the Sauk confluence. Summer steelhead is spotty. Nice upstream Dollies on the move as are the hatchery Chinooks. Anglers should be releasing everything. Most guys are throwing hardware or flyfishing sinktips. Big marabous in blacks, blue, red\orange are the most popular. Mike fishes both surface and subsurface, my drill is pretty much on top.
