The pinks are realy starting to show, when out today amd released 20 in 4 hours. and its only going to get better

What is the limit for pinks?

Nowhere on the Skagit is open for targeting humpies right now. Below Gilligan Creek will open August 16th, above will open September 16th. The daily limit for salmon will be 4, no more than 3 coho, 2 chums, release all kings.

Would the Skagit be a cool river to float with the wife and kids? I know everyone and anyone can hook up with the humps from the bank , but I built this little boat and well???????????

Is it legal tyo target humpies in the Skagit before Aug. 16th?

Papaslap, the Skagit is a great river to float for Humpies with the wife and kids. There are some very mellow floats down low and there is no better way to spend a sunny August afternoon that catching a limit and releasing a bunch more humpies.

You should NOT be fishing for humpies until the river opens. Check the other thread for details.

Watch out for wardens on wave runners on the lower Skagit. They nailed a lot of unsuspecting happy humpy eaters a few years ago.

no one was targeting the humpies we were fishing for cutts. and you can't keep the humpies from hiting your gear. and as long as the river is open and you want to fish then you will have to put up with them.
