Fly Fishing the Skagit River

I wanted to hit the Skagit River and I ended up floating a section I had never scouted before. It was cool water, but only ended up landing one Bull Trout. This river is one of the few in Washington where you can actually target Bull Trout, which makes it pretty unique. I always practice strict catch and release, but since you are allowed to target Bull Trout here, I did lift the fish from the water for a quick video. As you can see in the video, the fish was released safely. Despite the lack of quantity, it was a great day on the river. #davescadden #echoflyrods #simmsfishing #trouttwins #flyfishing

@@squamishfish I’ve heard of it…actually spent some time on Ross, but never that far up. From what I’ve seen of your Skagit, it looks pretty amazing!
