Noel Bourasaw was the founder and editor of the http://www.skagitriverjournal.com/ a wonderful repository of Skagit Valley history. Noel was a wonderful person, with a joyful passion for the history of this valley. He died of cancer in October of 2015.
The Skagit River Journal is now under the care of the Skagit County Historical Society and Museum, in La Conner. I am so pleased to know that Noel's work will live on.
Anyway, here's a story on the Journal about fishing the Skagit around Hamilton in the 1890's, complete with hoodoo's and beef bait. Enjoy
