Northwest Fishing Reports

Haven't checked it out since the 1st, anybody drive by and see anything rolling yet? Should be filling up soon..

Yo there hasn't been much activity yet. river is wayyyyy low. by september first its usually got fish but theyre in the bay for sure. apparently a native american guy caught 98 fish in one net set out there. If it rains they will be in there. otherwise september first. You can fish the mouth from one side this year without a permit so its something to try towards the end of the month. Ive checked it out a few times you can see bottom in all the holes. nothing showing yet. need rain bad. good luck to you in there. ill be away at college.

been all up and down 2 weekends in a row and seen only a few fish roll on high tide. first rains its on

i have never fished the samish, i am assuming your waiting for the kings? would you use the same method at the skok?

Kockmandoo -

Thanks for the reply. Not the answer I wanted to hear but definitely the response that I was looking for! I appreciate it. Congratulations on College, I guess its time for you to slay something else ;).

Above the farm to market bridge you can fish it just like the skok, but from the bay view /Edison bridge( lowest point open to fishing ) up to farm to market bridge is float fishing only( all bait or lures must be suspended by a float )....

THanks! yeah I wanted there to be fish in there sooooo badly before I left. but seriously, first rain, go to the mouth and fish the first hole with eggs likely some fish cruising around in there. Let me know how it goes there because its gonna be real hard for people to snag which will most likely mean a better egg bite!

Its full of fish now, ive limited 2 days in a row

alright headed to the Samish this weekend, I have never been there or fished it, I am taking my inexperienced girlfriend, (is it combat fishing) should I go fishing with a float in the lower or corky and yarn in the upper? do I need to watch for tides if not is the evening better then the morning (less fishing pressure), also is wading required at all the access spots. Thanks

(is it combat fishing)

^^^^ haha good call, but theres PLENTY of places on the samish that are literally unfished and have TONS of fish sitting around, i gotta keep it a secret tho BY the way the fish are in the samish GOOD now

Be careful in that mud, last time I was there I sank a bit to deep and tore a hip muscle getting out.

ohhh just wait till im back from canadia!

dang, thats about how i imagined it thanks for the info, i think we will go up as far as we can then fish down, i am assuming that picture is near the mouth? or is the entire river that boggy?

Pretty much entire river is that boggy.... There is a reason the Samish is nick named " the ditch "... I went up this last week with a couple of WL members and it was very crowded all the way up past the farm to market bridge... My GF and I are saying forget the Samish this weekend and heading to whidbey to fish off the beach for Coho...

okay so now about beach fishing for coho....

Bush pt, fort Casey , anywhere there is a good point that reaches out in between whidbey and the peninsula ... Also deception pass park we have done well off the beach...

just casting off the shore at what tide and with what hardware? sorry for all the questions
