Pink Salmon can be easily caught from shore or boat. Here is a map of the Skagit river showing well know bank fishing and access locations. This map focuses on the area between Sedro Woolley and Hamilton.
Like any advice on where to fish, this map is a good starting place, but additional locations can be found if you are willing to do some exploration.

Please be mindful of private property, and regardless of where you fish make sure to pack your trash out and keep our outdoors looking good.
