Skagit River - April 11th, 2004
supplied by: Dickson Flyfishing Steelhead Guides
FISHING: Fair
water levels - click here
Skagit: 5,440 cfs. (@ Marblemount) Dams are releasing a bit more water now, due an awesome snow pack . River in the upper reaches is running clear and cold. Not many fish around Marblemount but a few are getting up. The Sauk is getting a good return of steelhead and the fishermen are focusing their attention below the Sauk confluence. I look for more good fishing as we get deeper in April. The lower visibility of the Rockport to Baker River keeps the steelhead within the flyflinging range. Pink & Chum fry are coming out. All salmonid smolts appear to be on the move. Very consistent steelhead fishing.

Skagit: 4,200 to 5,000 cfs. (@ Marblemount) Dams are holding water, but we have an awesome snow pack so life is good. River in the upper reaches is running clear and cold. Not many fish around Marblemount but a few are getting up. Most steelhead and fishermen are still found below the Sauk confluence. I look for more good fishing as we get deeper in April. The lower visibility of the Rockport to Baker River keeps the steelhead within the flyflinging range. Pink & Chum fry are coming out. Coho fry are showing up. Everything is alive.

Skagit River - April 2nd, 2004
supplied by: Pacific Northwest Sportfishing
FISHING: Fair
The Skagit system is kicking out it's share of spring steelhead and things should only get better as we get into April. Water clarity below the Sauk bumped a little on Tuesday with the unseasonably warm weather Monday and a shot of rain on Tuesday. A freezing level that had fresh snow on the tops of the ridges kept things from getting too bad and by mid week clarity was once again around 3 feet. Upper Skagit is still clear and a few fish have trickled in up there. Still a mess of downstream dollies above Rockport.

Skagit: 4,200 to 5,000 cfs. (@ Marblemount) Dams continue to trickle water. River in the upper reaches is running clear and cold. Not many fish around Marblemount. Most steelhead and fishermen are found below the Sauk confluence. I mentioned I fished with Hal this past week. He is a fine fisherman, and of course better anglers always make the guide look good. He was not disappointed. I have maintained for years the only ingredient for successful guiding is fishing every day and paying attention. I am pretty blessed. I look for more good fishing as we get deeper in April. The lower visibility of the Rockport to Baker River keeps the steelhead within the flyflinging range. Pink Fry are migrating now, Chum fry are just coming out too. Eagles are nesting. Yup, Spring is here.

Wild Steelhead are in now in but fishing has been pretty slow here for the last week. The recent little freshets of rain should bring some fresher fish into the system

Skagit River - March 22nd, 2004
supplied by: Dickson Flyfishing Steelhead Guides
FISHING: Fair
water levels - click here
Skagit: 4,200 to 5,000 cfs. (@ Marblemount) Dams continue to hold water back. River in the upper reaches is running clear and cold. As many anglers and guides fishing the north sound waters are forced to the Skagit, the best bet is from the Sauk confluence, downstream to the Baker River where the Sauk fish move through. There is also a lower visibility which helps moving steelhead near the gravel bars. We are officially in the C & R steelhead season. Pink Fry are migrating now, Chum fry are just coming out too. Even the steelhead are looking up

Skagit River - March 18th, 2004
supplied by: Pacific Northwest Sportfishing
FISHING: Fair
Back to the Skagit this week where things seem to be perking right along. The river has gone to selective fishery regs and NO FISHING UNDER POWER, so we're back in the driftboat, which is fine by me. Though I spend a lot of time in the jet boat the rest of the year, the spring days in the driftboat are always my favorite. Fish are scattered throughout the entire Skagit catch and release area right now and fish will be continually moving into the river until it closes the end of April. Even during the week the Skagit is seeing it's share of anglers and the weekends are even more busy. Those that work hard and fish smart are seeing results, however.

Skagit 4,390 CFS. (@ Marblemount) Dams continue to hold water back, so upper river experiencing low waters, too. Many anglers and guides fishing the north sound waters forced to the Skagit. Simply isn't anything else open. Sad. C & R fishery kicks off in a couple days Pink Fry are starting to emerge.

Skagit River - March 13th, 2004
supplied by: Puget Sound Fly Company, LLC
RECORDED: 
47 °
FISHING: Good
The Skagit River is only two hours North of Puget Sound Fly Company, yet somehow it feels like it is much farther away than that. The river not only holds great numbers of Steelhead, Salmon and Char, but also the largest population of Bald Eagles in the lower 48.
FISHING: Steelhead season is building up nicely. Lower flows will call for smaller flies and tippets. Concentrate on the water from Marblemount to Rockport. The Skagit system is one of the few Puget Sound Rivers that will remain open for the wild fish season. Stay posted to the WDFW for emergency river closures. While most anglers will be targeting the river’s trophy steelhead, consider lightening up the tackle and targeting the river’s beautiful Bull Trout.
FLIES: Skagit minnow, Hareball Leech, Flesh Fly, General Practitioner, Howell’s Prawn.
TECHNIQUES: The Skagit’s large size lends itself nicely to two handed rods and traditional swinging techniques. If you have a single handed rod choose water that you can effectively fish. Access is good for both boat and wading anglers.
