Fished the Sky near the mouth of the Sultan from about 6am to 10am. I was targeting trout, but deep in my heart I wanted to catch a Steelhead or an early silver. I started off drifting night crawler but that didn't work so I tied on a Castmaster. Like on the fifth cast I hooked and landed a really tiny jack king. I was maybe 14'' long and a pound in weight. Don't worry I didn't take it out of the water. About 5 minutes later my dad hooks and "lands" a little jack king, on a chartreuse Castmaster. I was using a brass one btw, not that it matters. Didn't see any other fish caught besides the usual 12'', football shaped, trout. Called it quits at 10, but decided to check out my home hole, Thomas' Eddy. I saw one gentleman, wading in the riffles on the wildlife reserve side of the river hook into something but then lose it, also two guys in a canoe left the little island in the middle of the river with a fish bag that appeared to have 2 or 3 fish in it. They seemed pretty happy as they left, so I'm guessing they caught something. I kinda wit=sh I went to Thomas' Eddy in the first place. Oh well.
Tight Lines to all, except snaggers!
