Northwest Fishing Reports

I need some main fishng spots on the skokomish river that I can find on google maps. I am only going to be out in seattle till sunday and want to catch some chums and have never fished the skokomish river normally I am up on sky the cowlitz or the hump but am veryu interested in trying my luck on the skokomish river I either need gps or a land mark I can use. is there a hatchery that you can park at and fish down from? I would rather some good holes that are away from others I like fishing alone. and if your gonna be a **** just move on I have been fishing 23 years now and know my **** I am just needing help finding acess to the river. does any one know if minter is active yet? I havent heard much and it would be a great place to make my arm sore since I moved to pittsburgh a year ago.

PArk where all the cars are. There are no secret holes on the skok. Drive down purdy cutoff road until you see cars parked or you see the river. The upper portion of the river usually has more space, the fish are darker and you do quite a bit of wading. You can wade pretty much the whole river so just explore. Bring your glasses and when you spot fish, fish.

I was at Minter last week and it was dead. The online reports lately still havnt reported massive schools. Other have told me it should be good next week around Thanksgiving.

Check your pm's

go to the farm, there is a gravel bar jsut up from the clay bank/log jam hole. that is the most productive hole for me on the skok for chum. the chum seem to hold more in the middle river than along the bank but you can catch along the bank as well. Fish 3/4 of the way up on the bar, there is a nice little seam a little over hlaf way out that they hold in. You will also see them 5 feet off the gravel bar as well. No need to stand in the water. That hole seems to fish better at low tide, the upper river always seems to fish better at high tide.

Good luck.

does anyone have the gps cordinates?? my cousin is looking for them...thanks in advance...
