Title: Re: Any saltwater fishing going on?
I hit the Narrows
this morning from 7:15 (the gate was open) until 10:00 and got a few decent
cutts. A spin fishermen had landed a nice coho just as I was walking back
to my car. I saw no fish on the surface except the few that took my fly
in a swirl. The Narrows just hasn’t been fishing as good for
cutts this year as it has a few years back.

I fished the Narrows this morning. The
gate opened at 7:30, as usual, so I was a bit late into the tide. I did manage
to land a nice 3-4lb. wild coho. It was a bit of overkill on the rod I was
testing. I was fishing a Sage 8126 European two-hander with a Rio Outbound
line. I'd guess that I hooked the fish about 80 feet out on my popper.
Steelhead? Everyone I know has either landed a fish, jumped a fish or
had a pull.
Haven't heard a report in a while and I haven't been out in
Puget Sound for a few weeks either but was thinking of hitting something
tomorrow morning to fish the good ebb. Any local steelhead to
report for that matter? I've only been out one day and decided to wait
for the river to get in better shape before venturing out again and it looks
like it may be in good shape now.
Fished the S.Fork of the Snoqualmie a few days ago in the
mid-afternoon and did very well with a #16 Royal Stimulator and my little 6'
3-weight bamboo rod. Got tons of small cutts and rainbows but this year
got a lot of fish around 9-10" which is BIG for that little river.
Usually I'll get 1 fish every trip of that size but this time out I got
about a half dozen that size. Anyone else notice slightly bigger fish
this year in the South or Middle Forks?
