Northwest Fishing Reports

Hello Everyone!
Research has shown this year is suppose to be a banner year for coho. Huge returns expected back in the nooksack, especially on the south fork.
The Cascade River on the upper skagit is already stuffed with fish, and opens in a week.
Tons of coho are being caught in the sound
The Samish is already producing wild coho daily.

This year is looking GREAT, lots of fish are going to be around

I am switching to coho starting Sept 20th on the cascade, upper skagit and nooksack, but will still fish the samish through mid october as well

Book a trip for coho season, guaranteed half your money back if you dont catch a fish!!

Thanks! the coho will mess with ya all the way through november steelheading, but the chromers only last into mid october, then they make the river turn black and red! Lol

I think we were fishing the cascade with you fishenfreak.
Last yr steelheadin! i can't remember the month, but me and my buddy were the first guys there, and you passed us not soon after. It was when the water was LOW.

I hope the skagit gets a good run

i wouldnt doubt it! We did great steelhead on cascade last year, and were always walking down in the pitch black to our holes below. Haha the skagit will get a good run, theyre already in good, gonna be great this year for coho everywhere up my way at least

oh ya it was totally pitch black haha good times. I've hit 10 coho so far, but obviously have turned them loose. I went today and didn't see much activity. We need a rain before the 16th opener but i don't think its going to happen

yea we need a rain bad, it would be really stacked if we get that, you fishing the cascade or skagit? is the cascade open for trout or something?

I was fishing the skagit. I don't know if the cascade is open for trout or not lol

Im not divering the thread. Im just complimenting Danny on his Guiding website. Well Done Sir....

i have been to the cascade once, ( i think) that is just past newhalem right? i have a couple questions, can you camp near by and what is the access like?

it's just past marblemount. Newhalem is a little ways further. There is howard miller steelhead park in rockport that offers camping for rv's and tents. Rockport is 8 miles out from marblemount, so it's not bad at all. and the cascade has great bank access, just park at the fish hatchery, and walk the trail down to the bank, and you'll see alot of little drifts that the fish just lay in.

oh ok thought u meant cascade haha thats greeeat for early season skagit coho, nice job man!

I cringe at the thought of not fishing the cascade for coho. just remember to bring your shrimp tipped jigs boys. also eggs spoons and spinnners. Yall better believe im gonna be living at the cascade when I get home for winter break. the steelhead call to me.

there is a camp site on the cascade it self right below the rockport-cascade bridge, used to be called rainy river campground or something but I believe they changed the name, good access on the hatchery side and another super duper secret access point that some people may know about if they go there a lot that allows access to almost every hole but not as good steelhead fishing.
FF I say it is going to be slow for all the people upstream of you guys cause you are not going to let a single fish pass by at anytime, where you guys gonna work on those hos at?

not sure no idea where theyre gonna be holding early, just gonna have to see!

bet you they are stacked at the lil eddy and big bend, slammed them there before with blue fox and bud spinners about a week before opening day last year or 2 years ago.

second hole down is always killer, but the coheez are everywhere. they pollute the river

what are coheez
