9/4/2015 6:10:00 PMI was up there as well. SO MANY PEOPLE. It was crazy. Saturday will be even worse. Fishing was so-so for the amount of people there. Not sure I will go back. Stinky, nasty smelling. You have to pay to get in. I heard they will be there tomorrow checking everyone.
No Jigs and Hoot Owl is still in place. Fish are also getting dark and stinky. I'd rate it a 2 because of all the rude people!!!

9/4/2015 6:41:00 PMThat's just the point- nobody in their right mind DOES take part in that fishery! Just ask any of the folks there if they think they're in their right mind.
Fishing for pinks is great fun, but once you hook into a king, it's like a gambling addiction...you always stand a chance of winning if you put your quarter in that slot machine - no matter how many others are at the casino!

10/9/2017 8:22:53 PMSeattle Pat, its pretty clear that you’ve learned the Samish river quite well! Just a shoot in the dark here... Would you be willing to through a few useful tips to a guy who is looking to fish that river in a respectful manner?? I say that, as I was up there last weekend and saw a group of 20 guys snagging fish (Bow rd. Area), it was not encouraging to see... So out of the respect I have for this great fishery, I’m trying to learn how to fish it correctly and respectfully. Thanks for any advice and insight. I’d be happy to private message if preferred. Thanks again!

9/4/2015 6:46:00 PMYes Bluedog, it does look like a mess. How much room is there to fish there? It looks like a 10 foot slot which I can only imagine how a lot of the fish are hooked.

9/4/2015 7:35:00 PMSeattle Pat is right, totally worth it when you hook on, I hate fishing around people I don't know, but if you go there enough you will start to know people. Lots of regulars at that river. You have about five to ten feet on each side of you elk, so yeah ten feet.
No Jig rule?
That's interesting because most the people there are using jigs from what I heard.
Friend of mine caught a 16-17lb today out of there. He has been up there almost everyday since it openned. I will give it a few weeks and hit the river when they are HEAVY in there.

9/4/2015 9:44:00 PMI'd recommend going as often as you can between now and Oct. 1st as the tides permit. The brighter/better quality fish will be coming in now and there was no doubt they were heavy in there today. Lots of folks fishing all the way up the stream. Boe Rd. and Thomas St. bridge were both packed today too.
