7/28/2016 5:22:00 PMWell I fish from a boat out there. Fishing from shore there can be hectic due to the volume of people, and with the fact that the skokomish river is closed to non-tribal members I can only imagine the mass of people that fished that river will flock to the hatchery. Most people use a yarn and corkie set up as well as buzz bombs. It will be a very small channel that you will be fishing in as marked by the buoys. You Tube might have some videos of the hatchery so you could see what I'm talking about. I'd say if you have enough patience give it a try and enjoy yourself.

If you see people fishing then there is a good chance that the fish are there. Just watch for Native nets out there will be a lot of them!
