They have arrived, not in any huges numbers, but everyday I hear of more and more being caught and anyday now they should be holding in the reachable water of the middle Sky and in a couple weeks they should be available off the bars on the Skagit.
I've had fair luck but it seems that everyone I talk to has their favorite flies, favorite tpyes of water and favorite techniques.
Ive heard that the best water to fish for them in is in your typical steelhead inside seam holding water and others I talk to and even other people will tell you the best water is shallow riffles (spawners?). And then I have heard that the best flies are big ugly weighted leach patterns to small tiny unweighted bugs.
Ive always done best in deep, heavy 'nook water and in just deep, slow coho type pools fishing pink leaches under an indicator.
Any opinions (on the chums, not my technique
)??
