Skykomish

Hey everyone been doing alot of web surfing and am curious if any of you fish the skykomish or Snohomish rivers. If so what's the best way to go about this, the snoho I understand is mostly a boat/kayak fishery but am uncertain if the sky is deep enough for a boat or yak... Been reading that the sky gets a run of not only summer steelhead but summer Chinooks as well. Probably my first couple trips will be shore bound scouting when I am able to do so but if possible I'd like to try my yak on the water as well.
