Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 Well, looks like this week is going down the tube. I had hoped to make it over to Yakima this Friday, but looks like I will have to put that off. I might just go scout out the Beckler or the South Fork of the Sky for some trout fishing with the 5 wt.

Grizzly Dave Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I bought 1000 bullets at the match Saturday, I really should get them loaded up. I have enough to last me a month or two, but having cases ready to load kind of calls to me to get them done, and having a big pile of loaded ammo is really cool.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Da Gremlins did it. Got my reel all set for some yarn and marabou egg patterns for the river. Need to get me a spool of OX fluorocarbon for the leader. Gonna run three feet of OX off my 8 wt. sink tip with a size 6 fly. Rivers are moving up but still low and clear. With all of the pinks in the river and now the coho, wish me luck on the ironjaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Follow the contour of the surrounds. Steep walls mean steep drop offs. low beaches mean long bars. Watch the wind for wind currents It ain't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 I didn't fish. Took the rod but all of the rocks were occupied. The river is waaaaay low and the salmon (Pinks and now coho) are in. No ironjaws yet to speak of. Rains are due back so, maybe some more water. May run over to the lake this morning and see if I dance with a trout or bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 BMC the lake is turning over , water is off color . thinking I may check on one of the smaller lakes , maybe try to find a MESS of bream CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Wed had a cool spell night before last. I lost my planter flowers. Went over to Cottage Lake and two guys were fishing. One in a float tube with a fly rod, and the other off the pier with gear. The gear guy was just rigging up and the float tube guy was dredging nymph I guess. Anyway, there were a few swirls on the surface and I suspect that they were taking BWOs off the surface or hatching just below the surface. I did not see any bug activity on the water and it was still pretty early. Around 0900 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 BMC that ain't good , luckly we did not have a lot of wind , got some rain , seens to be clearing out now with the rivers coming up that much , what is it going to do to the fishing ? I don't understand , what affects the salt run fish , seems to me it should turn on the bite CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Well the river is full of salmon. The steelhead follow them. But they have not shown up as yet. Perhaps the rain will bring them in. The pinks have been fishing well, so I am told. The coho, not so well. Never seen a lot of luck with silvers on the fresh water. If you come to fish, bring your own rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Bottom fell out of the barometer Skykomish river went from 2000 cu ft/min yesterday at 0900 to 18000 cu ft/min this morning.
