well guys looks like my nearest day off is tuesday. Have any of you had any luck on the Green???

This is the week bro. I'm headin out and tryin to hook me one of those steelies FFF is always braggin bout.

Braggin? Nah, braggin about my g/f's? yeah. So i guess that's pointless bragging. Well i have been fishing for Salmon and Mackinaw lately and haven't had time to get on the river. But it looks in great shape. I think tuesday i will be fishing Kanaskat park at about 630am, or as soon as the gate opens. So if you and WINGWANG want to meet me there that would work. Bring your waders.

Hey FFF me and my grandpa were gonna be fishin flaming guiser on tues... might as well go to kanasket instead if a pro gonna be there

Where do you normally fish at kanasket?

I'll be at the hatchery hole or the rock hole as it is sometimes called. Follow the road all the way in and park in the spaces next to the big sign on the right and walk down that big trail. It comes out right on the hole. You have to get in the water to fish it properly, unless the water is way down.

What gear should I be using? drift, flies, etc? Sounds like a blast, and its only 5 minutes away

Well i'll be using what i have been pointing out on this thread, bobber and something. The hole is about 40-50ft long about 6-8ft deep and kinda slow. But the tail out is split by a limestone wall. So drifting is sorta unique there. Softball to soccer sized rocks make up alot of the bottom. I've drifted before but snagged after the first few casts. Since this wall is in the tailout and a huge rock is just above it, you get 2 completely different paths up the river, both almost the same so if your thinking about ease of fishing for Grandpa, i'd say the other side would work just as well or better. You have less casting to do to reach the drift. And you don't have to get in the water. Up to you though. If you need directions to the other side, just say so.

Well Iam gonna follow the same routine that I use when I AM fish the Green. That is...... Hit the headworks hole above the trestle at about 4am and wait for the park to open up. I will deffintly be there for awhile. look for a fat guy in skinny guys Hodgman waders carrying a bag full of tackle the size of an army duffle bag and that is me.

Hey how do you get to the other side? I'm definitely interested... I've gone down in waders before and caught a little rainbow but never to much besides that.

Well Lets say starting from the Kanaskat park entrance turn left and go across bridge. At the end there is a left turn that goes by the old Green river tavern and the bike and canoe rental shop which i think may be closed also. Just keep going straight and the road will head down to the palmer ponds hatchery. Park in the dirt area, look to your left and walk through that gate down to the river.

the other side is great if you wanna fish the tailout of the rock hole. but if you stand on the sand stone shelf you will be way to close to the fish and scare them away. I want to check out the other side of the Island soon.

Um, i dissagree with that. I've caught many on that side. Just a few feet off shore it gets deep and they sit right at your toes. Also on that side you can wing it way up the drift and cover alot of prime water. Plus the hatchery is on that side. It's a little more snaggy than the park side though. I got this one on that side drifting really close to shore. Spermin' bastage.

Is something that dark even edible??

Don't know, it went back in the water.

ahhhhhhhhh beautiful feesh

Hey - you found my lost hiking boot! :p

I'm just glad you didn't say - "well, I kept it for the smoker." Mmmm, smoked boots - not!

Oh well, I haven't touched a steelhead this summer yet, so I can't really say much... But I'm expecting my home river (snoqualmie) to be heating up real soon

So FFF, how was it? I ended up goin to a friends, sleepin over till about 4, then hiking down to the green near where he lives. we got some rainbows, which was REALLY fun on the super light gear im forced to use now.

How did Kanasket fair?

So your telling me none of you went up there? LOL Well as luck would have it i couldn't make it up either. Oh well next time. Water is pretty low right now 447cfs which is lower than low at kanaskat. Maybe tomorrow. Anyone got a shrimp preservative for live shrimp? LOL Any suggestions on keeping them alive longer?

Boot? LOL Hell that fish fought pretty dam good for being so dark. Got it on a pink/white jig. I don't think i've ever seen one darker.

well I hit the green at 4:am and man the fish were rolling. I saw one that was atleast 10 to 15 lbs. Also I kept seeing fish that had an orange-red back. Had to be a White fish right?? I personally had no action but saw atleast 8 feesh. I had one jump with in three feet of my bobber. I was so adrenalized thinking that upon his decent back into the water he would see my Jig and ..............WHAM. But the stupid slimeball didn't do crap. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

WW, amphibians? you trying to catch frogs? might have better luck with the bug rod.
