Does anyone know a link, phone number or just know what the netting schedule is for the Skagit?

From my computer...these might be old numbers, I don't know: Swinomish Tribe Commercial recording hotline: 360-466-4112. A live person: 466-7224.

not netting related but I was up there sunday and the river was very cloudy....no one was really catchin anything much .....might wanna see if the vis has cleared up any before heading there.

Thanks for the info!!! Rumor has it the vis is still pretty bad, but a few fish being picked up anyway.

Yes, always check on visibility before you go! (if you want to "catch", not just "fish", that is.)

Other than word of mouth and the rare fishing report, how DOES one check vis before headin out? That info isnt on the realtime data sites or anywhere is it.???? Thanks, that would be helpful to know, obviously I'm a lil new at this sport and to this area..

Pretty much figure until it gets cold enough to freeze at the 2500' level the Skagit is going to be out. Visibility is about 2", no exagerating. The face of one of the glaciers that dumps into the Suattle, which dumps into the Sauk split off and this is the result. About mid September is when this will start to clear. Might get 4-6" of viz if we get consecutive cloudy days.

It will be clear above the Sauk but then the river isn't open to catch and kill fishing of salmon. Looks like there will be alot of people fishing for Summer Run Steelies up at Rockport this year LOL.

Jeez - what timing!!!
