Chum salmon should be arriving very soon, with the peak of the run in the middle two weeks of the month. Look for fish from the mouth to Marblemount or higher. There should be decent numbers of the big salmon. See the Rivers in General section for chum tactics.

The Skagit has a good population of dolly varden. They are dropping out of their spawning tributaries and will follow the salmon and pick up eggs that are spilled. You can find them all the way to the Sauk; use Egg Flies.

Wild coho salmon enter the river in late November. These are big fish, and you'll enjoy hooking one if you can make the contact.

For more on November tactics and flies, see the Rivers in General report.
