Do you usually have to weed through a lot of darker fish before you catch a nice bright one like that? I have only been to the Samish a couple of times and all the fish I caught were darker than I wanted to keep.

9/24/2008 8:51:00 AMThis time of year is a little tougher to catch bright ones. But with the coho showing up its still worth it. The rain helps bring some fresh kings in.
I start fishing the samish about mid july. I normally dont see a dark fish till september. i've got some nice ones in mid october. Dont think you have to fish next to 500
fisherman to get a good fish 80% of them fish the first 5 miles of river. lots river up stream plenty open holes. New rules too your line has to be moving at all times
no bottom fishing.Thanks mallard83 good luck.

I always thought a 12 foot jon with a pump would be perfect. But its
very accessible by foot and easy to move hole to hole. Stealth is key on
this tiny river
