Fishing within the main Skagit River and its tributa- 
ties below Goodell Creek is not good. 
Dolly Varden and rainbow trout and whitefish are 
found in Baker Lake, but on the whole the streams in 
this watershed, owing to glacial water, do not offer a 
strong attraction to the angler. 
The Suiattle River and its tributaries are splendid 
streams very little fished owing to the difficulty of get- 
ting across the Sauk River. The Forest Service has a 
rowboat here, and frequently arrangements can be made 
with forest officers for a crossing.

tributaries east of Glacier is not so good. However, the 
streams here are being stocked and will be right in a few
