We made another trip down to the skookumchuck to have some fun with some coho before we had to go back to seattle. Made it down there about 1pm and started out drifting eggs below the hatchery. About 5 guys fishing with no fish pulled out, it only took a few casts before I got a nice blushed coho. Then walked down to meet my husband, he just released a firetruck, he was using the thill center slider bobber with eggs.. I kept walking on down to the corner to fish. Unfortunately right after i left him he hooked into a gorgeous steelhead hen that was sitting in the same spot as the coho. She was prepared to be in the river a long time, her eggs were immature like a summer steelhead. Caught some more coho before we decided to leave. Skookumchuck has been good to us.
