Northwest Fishing Reports

I read today about the estimated pink salmon return this year. However the articles don't mention what time of year the different species will arrive.

Does anyone have a guess as to when the pinks will be in the Snohomish & Skagit rivers?

Thanks

Late summer Early fall but pinks in the fresh water are real stinkers hit the salt humpy hollow salt chrome ,

20 fish days not a problem= bleed them asap and gill at least you will have Grand Plant food!!!!

Fun deal for kids for sure:cheers:

When in doubt Stink I mean Pink it out!!!:colors: LOL

Throw any pink jig, plastics pink in the river your in or OUT!!!#-o

keep the pinks away from boat carpet as pinks bleed real easy. Carpet starts to stink after a full weekend of pinking.

Thanks for all the info.

Does late summer/early fall mean Aug-Oct?

Thanks

Some will be early as posted some will be later they come in droves:cheers:

They'll be in the straights in July, start showing in good numbers in the Puget Sound in early August, with numbers peaking in mid/late August....

They'll be in the Snohomish from mid August thru mid September....

Late August is usually the best time to target em...

start fishing when the river opens......i mainly fish the nasty,puke,and carbon!!!:cheers: iam mainly gonna go after the kings on the nasty again this year!!!!!:cheers: but if i want non stop action ill hit either puke or carbon for those pinks!!!!:cheers:

Fish will be in the Snohomish when it opens in August....They will be in there good until mid September...

Get some pink and some chartruese jigs (green works real well believe it or not) and pitch those out into slow water stretches of the Snohomish. Fish the bottom 1/3rd of the water column and "twitch" the jigs back into you after you cast them out...1/4 oz jigs...No need for huge lures in rivers..Smaller the better in my opinion...

Dick nites (50/50 and Pink) also work well, cast/slow retrieve in the same water.

Fish where there are fish. Pinks will roll and splash, so you'll know when they are in....

summer kings for the sky june-july, pinks august-mid september, coho september-mid october, and chums late november- early december. this is for the skykomish river. also i am willing to meet someone on the sky when the pinks are in and put them on some fish.
