Where abouts along the Chuck? I have tried out this way by I-5 and have wanted to venture into Monroe.

The Pilchuck empties into the Snohomish River at Snohomish and runs up to Granite Falls and beyond. I've been fishing the Machias area and south of there. No luck tonight.
Sharpshooter:
What's the difference between a Rainbow and an immature Steelhead?

1/29/2010 12:23:00 PMNice report Splitshot. A surefire way to catch a nice 10 lb steelie is to only take your ultralight gear next time. :) PS. the clincher would be leaving the camera at home too. By the laws of fishing, you'd be guarenteed a big one.
I agree, unless you're a noob, I'd say it's easy to distinguish between the cuts and bows....and also immature steelie = rainbow trout.
