Well, I tried. Went to the skagit at first light and fished the sand bar at gardner launch. 3 hours and 10 guys near me scratching their heads. Saw 2 fish roll the whole time. No bites. Got a tip from a fellow fisherman that he had luck at the "spudhouse?" I think thats what he called it. Went there and drowned some shrimp for an hour. NO FISH! More headscratching. Was getting lots of nibbles from what I suspect were sculpins :/ Guess its still early....

Don't bother with the river for another week or two head out to the salt and fish the beaches.

thats alot of chompin at the bit, to catch some dog food. my two love canned pinks! a real money saver. mix some with some rice. i do sometimes, when my copboards are empty, toss a jar for some tuna helper. pinks are so bland. but, they are entertainment, thats for sure! especially on a trout rod, which i often use in the rivers.

I dont believe I stated anywhere that I was looking for food "doc"? I like to use my sons spider-man pole when I take him with me in the boat for pinks. But looks like I wont be using the light gear this year, not a good idea if I'm catching and releasing with the warm water. I scout rivers early because hes pretty excited when the time comes. Its great entertainment and practice for the kids to be catching a salmon from the river consistently to keep their attention. Hes almost 5 now. Loves it....
