Amazing start to the new year! I had to rate this day #1, since no fish were caught, but really it should be #4 based upon how incredibly gorgeous it was at the Skykomish. I fished from 3:00pm-4:45pm. Eagles were flying, the water was low enough to make great headway up the river near reformatory hole. As the sun set, a beautiful moon came up through the trees. Though I had several snags, I believe this was the first time I have ever fished the river and did not donate any rigging to the river! I brought my girlfriend with me and she quietly soaked up the sunshine, serene beauty and fresh air. I floated a white headed, black body jig with a pink worm tail. Setup 2 was casting a 50/50 dick nite. A nice guy across the river, wearing camouflage mentioned he hit the colors green, then purple over a large stretch on his side, but to no avail. Maybe next time. Happy fishing!
