August has been a busy month for me. Lots of clients and lots of days spent in the salt. We
have had some phenomenal trips in the middle sound. Got into a pod of fish chasing bait
around like it was their last day on earth. Even saw Steelhead jumping!!!
It is Coho season folks, the larger resident are available and the big boys are starting to show
up.
The South Sound is still a great place for the cutts. They are feeding and getting plumped up to
head back to the rivers. However, many fish remain in the salt year round and fall and winter
are your best bet for big cutthroat.
We have some great tides coming up in September and the Coho are going to be off the hook,
or should I say ON THE HOOK!!!

Coho fishing continues to be good. Sometimes the fish are feeding and
that makes it easy with a baitfish pattern striped fast. At least a
size 4 folks. When the fish are not feeding try using a attractor color
in a Clouser. The middle sound is slowing down a bit but the south end
is still going strong, but you have to know where to go. Movement!!!
Look for Chum Salmon to start moving in the next few weeks. We have
seen a few in the south end already.
The Cutts are really moving and shaking getting ready to start their
journey upstream. The upcoming months are prime for stalking the big
fish that remain in the salt for the winter. It is a great time to be
out. Winter Cutthroat trips are filling up fast so don't miss out on this
sensational opportunity

I would like to say a big thank you to Duane, David and Rob. Great
job out there and there is more where that came from.

Chum and Cutthroat fishing continues to be amazing. Candle fish for the Cutts and small for
the Chum. We have some great tides coming up for late October and early November. This
should be a long Chum run as it is a non Pink year. Shoot me an email if you have any
questions

September and October have been two of the best months out in the salt that we have had in
a long time. Sound Fly Fishing has been on the water almost everyday, hence the lack of
reports lately.
The Serwolds from California came up to try their hand at some Sea-Run action. Got into tons
of fish for this mixture of newbies and pro's. Chris got 4 fish in 4 casts. lots of candle fish and
the Cutts were gorging themselves on them. Awesome day!
Robin and his sons from New York flew in and had no idea what Puget Sound had in store for
them. Again, the Cutts were plentiful and the Coho fishing was sensational. This trip was on
October 5 and we were still seeing and hooking Coho.
As of late,the Sea-Run Cutthroat have been absolutely going crazy. Yes, the rivers too, but we
are so excited for the upcoming months in the salt. Now is the best time of the year to be out
for the big Cutts. Wind, rain, and no sun make you question what the hell you are doing
outdoors but once you get hooked on the feisty Cutts all of that will go away.
That brings me to my next point. The Chum Salmon are in and moving by in great numbers.
From Possession down through the Canal and into the South Sound we have been doing
well. Chums are great sport on a 8wt rod.
