So how are things on the Sky? Noticed the Sultan boat launch lot was full of rigs Friday so there's lots of people fishing from boats. (Of course, the Herald said that was where to go if you couldn't get to Forks.)

Saw **lots** of fish at Reiter earlier in the week before the water came down, plus a professional photographer filming the action. Must be an article coming out regarding this hot, secret spot where the latest techniques of combat fishing are developed. The people count was also **high**. They need a bigger parking lot at Reiter, and I want the concession rights to the Expresso Stand.

Steely, funny you mention reiter. The parking lot up there looked like a walmart today. We were joking around about selling hotdogs and sandshrimp Beerman style...lol What a zoo!

Was one of the rigs at Sultan on Friday. I guess I expected a little more company than usual for a Friday, but it was ridiculous. It seemed everybody in the Seattle area with a jet boat was out. I counted 31 trailers in the Sultan parking lot when I went back to get my DB trailer (mostly sleds).

I guess if I had a jet boat I might feel differently, but boy are they annoying when you're fishing from a drift boat. Just about every hole had two or more jet boats repeatedly roaring up and boondogging back down through.

Fishing appeared to be good though. Saw a couple caught and picked up a chromer myself.

I put in at lewis at light and went up to two bit' and drift back , we hit one fish but we did'nt land it, it was real cold and real slow first thing, nice day for a boat ride though, as pethetic as it sounds I think we need a little rain! I won't miss that next high water!

How soon they forget! Was also kind of wishing for rain. Couple spots that fish better with a little more water are already too low. And only four days after it got fishable again.

From the reports that I have recieved from the sledders that know what they are doing, the past week has been absolutely amazing!!

I have heard of double-digit fish hooked days more then a couple times this week.
