Some pictures above taken from some of last weeks trips. To view a brief description of the pictures above simply slide your mouses cursor over the photo. Week of April 17th - 23rd, 2005 Weather: HOT & DUSTY!!...windy too in the afternoons! Been some great weather over the past week, other than the torential rain and wind last Sat. River Conditions: Read above. Fishing Report: Fishing remains fair to good here on the Skagit system for both Dollies and Steelhead!! Seeing a few Springers around now as well. Quote For The Day: "Nature marches to the beat of its own drum. And fish bite when they're ready, not before. An angler's frustration will not force a fish to bite. Nor will his worry. Since one can't hurry a fish, angling inevitably becomes a lesson in patience and persistence. Once a fisherman has done his best , the rest must be left up to his prey. So remember: If the fish aren't biting, let them not bite. But keep fishing. The next cast may hook the big one!" Skagit System USGS River Levels:Links and how to use them:When fishing the Skagit or Sauk River I always check the flow and gauge height at a number of locations before planning a days fishing. Here's the order with Links and why: First I Check Skagit River at Newhalem To check if the Dam is releasing water, and how much. Next I'll check Skagit River at Marblemount To check gauge height. If they are not releasing a bunch of water at Newhalem and the river is on the rise I'll check Bacon Creek Near Marblemount To check gauge height. If Bacon Creek is on the rise you can figure the Cascade, Illabot Creek and all the other upper Skagit Tributaries are also on the rise and adding color to the Skagit. Next I'll check the Sauk River starting with Sauk River / Whitechuck River Near Darrington To see what the upper Sauk above the Suiattle is doing and to see what will be hitting the Skagit before too long. Next I'll check the Sauk River at Sauk River Near Sauk and Compare the Upper Sauk flows with the lower Sauk flows. This will let you know what the Suiattle is doing, which is also where most of the color will come from. Checking Sauk flows will let you know pretty much what the visibility on the Skagit below the Sauk will be down to Concrete. Next I'll check the Baker River at Baker River at Concrete To see how much water they're releasing from the dam there. This will let me know what to expect on the lower Skagit below Concrete and Last I'll Check Skagit River Near Mount Vernon if planning on fishing the lower Skagit and to give a general overview of whats going on on the lower river.
