Sauk River Fishing Report Winter 2019
If you are like me and rather watch than read here ya go.
Overall this season on the Sauk River was tough. Early on the water was quite high (about 4700cfs) which was pushy and tilly from the Suiattle River down. On another day we put in on the upper river from the Darrington Saw Mill down to the Suiattle which is an amazing stretch of water. Managed to find a unicorn! Sauk River hatchery steelhead (if that’s really a thing anymore)
The weather stayed pretty dry through the end of February and into March bringing the other side of tough conditions, low and clear. As seen in the video there are still chances to mingle with some fish if you put in the work. But word on the street is with the about 1300 cfs most of the fish are hanging out lower in the system until rains come. But by then we’ll be sticking around on the Yakima River and getting ready for whitewater trips on the Wenatchee River. So until next time, stay warm and tight lines!
