I fished from first light at the Sultan on the highway side all the way to Reiter. It was a full day of it.

I hiked through the jungle at the farm in the morning. That was a kick. I swear I'm buying a machete soon, it was ridiculous. I got really excited because I hooked a decent Chinook, it ran, tried to twist around branches, jumped into the bushes, nearly got lost and finally got tired out and I get it up close to me, ready to be netted and run my hand down its back to find a big dumbo ear adipose fin. Darn. It looked to be a good size, was a deep hen and I unhooked it and revived it and sent her on her way.

Caught nothing but a big giant sucker fish at the mouth of the wallace. The guy I ended up fishing next to at reiter caught two kings right before I got there and then left, because I didn't see him while I was there.

By the time I got to Reiter I must have been tired, because I hooked two fish, and proceeded to lose two fish to bad hooksets. One other fish hooked and another landed. It was a slow day today.

Fished eggs, hardware yarn, corky and worked real hard for it, but the fish won today. I'll be on the Wynoochee tomorrow, we'll see what happens.

Lol on the machete =) For the bushes tho, or for the tweakers ?? ! How about both ! Haha... Ugh, so paranoid to park at the mouth of the Wallace now after hearing of some break-ins. All a guy needs is one of those hunting cams that are discreet and camo'd strapped to a tree or whatever that takes pics on movement, or video. Congrats on at least hooking into some fish tho ! ;) It seems for every 5 Kings I hook, I land only 2 or so. If they would just stay in the water and not put on such a show omg... Haha.

That farm to the right of the Sultan bridge and the trails winding thru, if that is what your talking about is one of my favorite spots ;) Sometimes hard to land the suckers tho !
