Fishing the Skagit River with local fly fishing guide and outfitter, Ed Megill of Cascades Fly Fishing for bull trout and steelhead.
This bright Chum hen engulfed my black and pink Prom Dress fly while swinging for steelhead. I think this photo turned out nicely…
Early Saturday, fly fishing was the name of the game, so I brought along my trusty St. Croix Imperial and a box full of my recently dubbed “Coho Thunder” flies. So far this season, the Coho Thunder has accounted for some nice coho, searun cutthroat, rainbows and dollies.
Hooking a Skagit river pink salmon on the swing with the double hand rod was probably the highlight of the day. This seems unusual for pink salmon, since generally humpies tend to like a twitching up and down type movement of the fly.
