Did he he keep the old humpy or just kill it for fun and then throw it back in the river?

Either way, would it really make any sense?


He bagged it

No, was just curious if he was really sick and demented and just killing the fish for fun.

You guys crack me up, you have nothing better to do than to piss and moan about people catching fish in a place where it's legal to do so, I'm sure people snag fish there, but where don't they. When water conditions dictate I fish there as I did a couple of weeks ago, great day several pinks two chrome silvers and a big nasty king (ALL IN THE MOUTH) and was still was home to see the Huskies, by the way the game warden was there, I talked to her for quite a while (what a cutie!!) It's ok to fish below the train bridge in fact most launches have a sign that sez PUBLIC FISHING. Over the years I've opted not to launch my boat and fish that area on several occasions and never thought twice about it. Nor will I think twice in the future. I fished there as a kid and I'll fish there as an old fart, so I guess I'm one of those goobers/ snagger/ witless knot heads/boat launch maggots you all are referring to and so are two of my fishing partners who are pretty well known for their fishing skills. I can't wait to fish with those witless knot heads this weekend.

As for fishing the bar on the Sky being better, not in high water. I've fished there several times in high water "nothing" jump over to the seam on the other side a much different story.

Launch your boats above the bridge where fishing is closed. And if someone is fishing there, run him or her over, it's ok because they're breaking the law to begin with.

That back eddy under the trestle is why they named cracker bar "Cracker Bar"

Who the hell wants to cast around people putting in or taking out their boats. Its a big river with tons of access. That pool ranks really low on the list of good holes on the sky.
sorry for my ranting about the trestle maggots... just my 2 cents...

You guys are absolutely right about the snaggers squating on the boat ramp.It's a boat ramp,Brad.You're welcome to "fish" it as far as I'm concerned but I won't be launching in the Sultan to avoid moving you off the ramp.Move it or lose it.
These turkeys are standing damn near shoulder to shoulder and are snagging.Pathetic.

can't you guys go talk [Bleeeeep!] about the snoqualmie or something.

I suppose I could talk $hit about the Snoqualmie if I ever find the high bridge ramp taken over by snaggers.
Why does the subject bother you anyway?

OK.....back to the real subject....
Having put in untold hours on this river (just ask my wife!) is it worth driving 45 min to fish it tomorrow? Not where and with what but is it blown? Non-stop rain on the Eastside for last 2 days...I'm guessing it's out but an honest assessment would be appreciated.
C'mon guys, let's act like gentlemen.

No, it's not blown, and as a matter of fact it's not too bad. I was suprised it wasn't. It's pretty stained, but (as of 9:00a.m. today, anyway) not muddy at all.


In case don't know about this link, it's the best bet for checking out what shape the streams are in.

leadslinger thats nice of you to care about me having a place to fish, but where I fish there's no way for a boat to launch so I'm ok . You and bank walker should be ok til next year because me and another tressel maggot will be talking our drift boats to the OP for the winter, so you'all can run your sleds up and down that river all you want. have fun and good luck!!


My advice is to be nice to the tressel maggots, I AM, because one of our rigs have to stay.

(SAVE THE TRESSEL MAGGOTS!!! DON'T RUN THEM OVER WITH BOAT TRAILERS!!! THEY HAVE LITTLE LARVE AT HOME TO FEED)

Hit the Sky Sunday afternoon BenHoward to Monroe. River is running fast but good color and depth. Picked up the biggest Silver I've ever caught 20+lbs a little colored but what a great fight! Thought for a while I was going to have to pull anchor and follow him down stream, might have been interesting seeing as thought the only place my 12yo son has rowed is on the lake or calm waters.
(Driftboat) tried doing the Chum thing in the slot by Benhoward no luck, they should be there

FNB,I really don't have any problem with you or where you fish.I believe in sharing the river.I just don't think I should have push a bankie out of my way to launch a boat on a boat ramp.
Sometimes I launch in the Sultan,sometimes the Sky.Where I launch on this rough ramp depends on river levels and flow and not courtesy to someone who wants to fish on the launch.
If I were bank fishing here,I would get out of the way when someone is launching and then fish when they are gone.I now suspect that you probably do this,others fishing here don't seem to want to move out of the way.I get a little short with these inconsiderate types,that's all.
Good luck to you.

I fish sunday from Ben Howard down to Lewis Street. Water was some what faster than I like. Got one Chum and two Silvers. Not a bad day but will only get better.
