Skagit/Ross lake

[walnutz]

Anyone know how bad the floods damaged this area or what shape the road is in currently? Snow levels etc.... Cheers!!

The road was completely gone in a few stretches from 12km -18km if I remember correctly. There was a YouTube video of it floating around, I’m sure you could find it. We did quite a bit of work on the highway there in November/December but I haven’t heard of any gear getting sent up the skagit unless the loggers are in there…

One of a few. It's DONE and unless there is a real reason to fix it, it will be some time!!

If you could use an e-bike, dirt bike to get back in there later this year if the roads don't open up...I bet the hunting would be better than it's been in a long time! Based on that video, I assume the roads will be unrepaired for some time

Maglic, that is an interesting video, I was not aware that someone could take an excavator and carve a new road through the bush, pushing over green timber, putting fill into fish bearing waters....

Likely can't get past the 12km mark...or best case I assume the bridge at the 19km mark was wiped out and hasn't been repaired

Don’t try this at home, folks!

Planning on taking a trip up there once the river opens for fishing, either gonna bike or hike it for a few days. The lack of fishing pressure should make it worth it. Holds a special place in my heart because it’s the place I finally caught my first fish on the fly.

Report back! Be interested to hear what shape it's in. Good luck with the fishing trip!
