I've fished four days this week, for a total of around 20 hours. I had a buddy along on day 2, and he caught one buck on a spoon. Other than that, not a single tug. I've tried all manner of jigs -- hootchie, maribou, hybrids - all to no avail. I've used jigs and shrimp under a float, too, without success. Rolling fish have collided with the float, but no action on the business end. Spinners, Buzz Bombs and spoons are also been fruitless.

The area between the confluence of the Sky and Snoqualmie and the 522 bridge has been my primary target, with one brief excursion down about 1/4 mile from the bridge.

From discussions at the boat launch, it sounds like more fish are being taken lower in the river. As a rookie boat operator, I'm a little nervous about the water getting a little skinny in some spots when the river gets wider, so I've been hesitant to poke my nose down there too far.

I'd love any suggestions.
