Went up to the sauk to check out the water. havet fished the sauk much. went to where it meets with the whitechuck river. the whitechuck dumps in some colorful water. there was 3 or so people fly fishing right where the rivers meet. I drove around scoping out spots from there to the boat launch at the bridge crossing the sauk north of darrington on hwy 530. saw some good water and a lot of little trout jumping. I didnt get a chance to fish tho. getting too dark n the spot near the whitechuck seemed the best. I Dont think much people fish the sauk. maybe there isn't a lot of hatchery steelhead?
On my way home I stopped at the hole on the NF Of the stilly right above the slide. saw what looked like suckerfish and a few 18 inch or so steelhead or trout swimming around. fly fishing only for that stretch till dec and jan though.
Guess i might go explore the sky again if it rains. rivers are really low and hard to get the fish going. only luck I've had this year is a couple catch and release kings june 1st on the sky which were not open this year unfortunatley.
Tips?
