OP rivers are low with only small amounts of precip, hatchery reports are pretty bleak.
Still finding clean, aggressive fish on the east side. Last few days have been great but I havent taken many fish selfies.
Headed to the Skagit in 2 weeks for some personal fishing & then teaching a class at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop.
OP season begins Feb 1 for me this year. Looking forward to it!
