I am a fishing newbie, but I got the bug! The feeling of getting hooked up with a fish on the other end of the line is intensely electrifying, wildly gratifying and scratches the pleasure sensors in my brain like very few things can.

This is my first year fishing. I came upon this site and I want dive into the community of fellow anglers.

This is my first report, but I have been out on the Snohomish about 5 times since the start of September. It has been dead....deader than a doornail. I have tried everything that I could read up on...drifting dick nites and cheaters and yarn, casting dick nites, spinners and plugs, buzz bombs, trolling plugs and even eggs under a float. Still nothing. Mind you, I am a newbie, so I am not sure if I am doing any of those right. It is getting to be a little bit frustrating, but I look at it as paying my dues. And just being on the river is great time. :)

Anyway, on to last night's report...spent a couple of hours on Shorts School Road using eggs under a float. Nothing. I saw 1 fish roll. There was a seal that decided that the fishing was so bad he got out of the water and laid on a log for about an hour.

That is it for now. I am going to try to do a write up every time I go out. Hopefully, this will help both me and you.
