I have only fished the skok once this year and I didn't see a fish. I am heading down to it again tomorrow to fine the kings. Oh have any of you guys fished it or do any of you know about floating the river? I heard it was easy and I also heard that there was a tree across the river right by the 101 put in. Well, hope to see one of you tomorrow.

Chris

Chris, I hit the Skok yesterday and didn't see anything. I talked to a few people up and down it and they said the same. I heard that the Kings are starting to show at hoodsport though, so the Skok fish shouldn't be too far behind. good luck!

Thanks jake. I have never fished at hoodsport for kings. What do you use??? Where there alot of people at the skok??
Thanks

Yeah, there was quite a few people on the skok early but most of them left. Hoodsport people use corky and yarn, and buzz bombs. Alot of fish are snagged. I have had a lot of hook ups using the same gear I use for pinks out there, which is a pink crappie jig, with some weight above a leader. just kind of casting it out and swimming it back in. I have limited a few times when no one else caught anything. good luck!

Right on... thanks for the info. I wil use it. If you ever need any info from me just ask. Thanks...

Oh, I am planning on floating from 101 to the lower bridge tomorrow. Is that tree still in the way? Anyways, we need alot of rain...

Chris

Chris I fished there this mornig very few fish in no one hooked any, there were lots of people fishing.Also about the tree did not see any below the 101 bridge, we fished from 101 down to below lower bridge. The indians are netting using rocks to chase the fish out of logs and into their nets what few are in the river. Good luck floating if you do I did last year and found it better to bank it, just my 2 cents.

thanks spinnerman. After jake Dogfish and you have those not very good reports I am not going in the morning. I hope it picks up. I hope it is as good as it was last year. Tight lines....

Chris

Well it didn't go as well as it should of gone.... I was there at 5:30 to 12:00 and all we saw were jacks except i saw one dude with a 10 lbs king... there aren't many in there. Indians net sun-wed. bummer...

Chris

Randy,
Were you the one that I saw with the 10lbs king and also saw you that morning? I was wearing the grey sweatshirt and the white hat....

I hear that the rain brought some new fresh fish, but the indians are netting sun - wed...

drove down to the Nasty, just got back, and talked to some guys that were at the Skok this morning. they said no fish. nothing rolling or being caught.

dcrzfitter

Thanks....

Ok ..guys I will let the cat out of the bag!!!Fish the Hoodsport hatchery..Chromer Kings coming into the hatchery...hundreds coming in at a time (yes you read it right hundreds)...Go check it out,I limited out 3 days in a row in less then 2 hours...There is a a certain time that the fishing is best but you will have to figure that out on your own..There is fish out there to catch you just need to do some scoutin......TM

I fished there last week and as you said there were 100 of fish but they all had lock jaw. I was there for 2 hours and noone had a bite. What are you using? Corkies??

Chris, That was not me with the 10 pound fish Friday, however I did land 3 adults and 2 jacks on Friday, down below the bridge and put them all back, nothing Saturday and nothing Sunday. I did see some nice fish caught Sunday on eggs. The game warden made an appearance Sunday afternoon and checked everyones license, looked like he was walking the whole river. Busted one guy for no license and he had a fish on the bank. $150 ticket and made him give his fish away to someone else who had to punch it. He was a pretty cool GW, could have taken all his gear, but was pretty cool and not a jerk at all. Even told the guy that if he brought his license to the judge he would probably just get away with court costs of about $15...that was if he showed a license already purchased, not a newly purchased license. Pretty interesting

That is a bummer. Has anyone fished it lately? I heard that there are a few.
