have not fished Sky in many years and can't recall if Sultan is below or above Wallace - so kick me if I'm off the map here - Sky is closed from mouth to Wallace river on those dates.

from lewis st. bridge in monroe to wallace river march 1 to april 30 all game fish catch and release and selective gear rules open only downstream of the mouth of sultan river.

[TomB]

The area mentioned has been closed effective march 1 including the catch and release season dut to a low predicted return of wild steelhead.

[Kaari Dahl]

I've been told by the Kaufmann's peeps that only yarn flies without hooks will be used.

I should really make him post his own stuff.. :rolleyes :P

[miyawaki]

Kaufmann's has cleared the spey days with the WDFW because we won't be fishing. Besides that, no sane person would let a bunch of beginning speycasters anywhere near them with a hook anyway.

no need to kill the messenger now is there.

[crockett]

I believe that High Bridge is well past Sultan on Hwy 2 east of Gold Bar...just in case anybody is interested in throwing hookless yarn flies.

[Roper]

Would the message have been recieved as willingly...

BTW, what's your ideal LOP?

Roper,

Truth above all

[Old Man]

I used to know it all---but now that I'm older I seem to forget it all.

Just get on Hiway 2 and head east. After you pass thru a few small towns you will cross the Sky on a high bridge. As you glance to your right as you cross the bridge you will see Big Eddy. Lots of parking. The last small town you go thru is Goldbar.

[speyneznbhm]

whats a LOP ?

[STEELY13]

HEY CWUGIRL I JUST THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SAY WHATS UP AND TELL YOU THAT I WAS RIGHTING THIS TO TELL YOU THAT MY SISTER GOES TO CWU AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW HER OR IF YOU HAVE BEEN FISHINF THE YAK LATELY CAUSE I PLAN TO FISH WHEN I GO SEE HER THIS NEXT WEEK AND TO SEE HOW LONG THE SPEY CASTING CLASS IS ;-)

[Roper]

Lenght of Pull, it's part of a side bar converstation with CWUGirl.

Roper,

Tie me, Fly me, Whip me, Strip me.

[Luv2Spey]

FYI, Steve Choate is the reigning world-wide spey casting distance champion. He hails from Washington State. Way Tin, also from Washington, came in 2nd, I believe.

The guys on the program are big dudes in the world of spey casting.

Maybe Sage will have their new 5 wt spey rod.... :eek

See you there...

Cheers,

Michael

[Kaari Dahl]

Sorry Roper... I didn't see your post!

Ideal is 13.5. Gotta get back to the westide to feel some out. Leaning towards Weatherby at the moment! But I really have no clue of what I'll end up with... just has to be pretty and fit well. :beer2

[BrianL]

This should teach you!:P

Either way, it should be a fun time.

I do'nt want to rain on the spey days because i will be there. But at high bridge. lots of parking but not much in the way of casting or is it just me !! I'm mean ben howard or mcdonald park. any help on this I know I know when you make the plans then you can pick the spot !!

[Kaari Dahl]

I know!! Next time he'll have to make the big leap and actually post on here himself. Sparks on WFF.. scary! :smokin }(

[Old Man]

I used to know it all---but now that I'm older I seem to forget it all.

He was here once,but maybe he just got insulted and never came back. :smokin

Jim

[Kaari Dahl]

No.. actually he hasn't ever posted here before. Look, I'm defending him again. When will it stop? HA! }(
