  Skagit County is in northwestern Washington state, located between the Puget Sound on the west and the Cascade Mountains on the east. The Skagit River flows through the county and contains healthy populations of all five salmon species, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout. It is a popular destination for fishermen, and several fly-fishing clubs exist in and around Skagit County.
  
  

Fidalgo Fly Fishers

• Fidalgo Fly Fishers is headquartered in Anacortes, Washington. This nonprofit club is affiliated with the Federation of Fly Fishers, and is concerned with educating and promoting the sport of fly-fishing on the Skagit River and its watershed. They encourage a "catch and release" policy and work with local wildlife agencies to protect and restore the local salmon and steelhead populations.

The Evergreen Flyfishing Club

• The Evergreen Flyfishing Club is a chapter of the Washington Fly Fishing Club. Although the club meets in Snohomish County, they are always looking for new members from nearby areas. The club produces a newsletter, hosts guest speakers, promotes conservation and teaches the techniques and history of fly-fishing. Their charter members included Lew Bell, one of the earliest presidents of the Federation of Fly Fishers, and Al Knudson, whose spider fly pattern is a standard for northwestern fly-fishing.
