The river's flow is affected by rainfall, snowmelt, and reservoir releases from Ross and Diablo dams. The river has several tributaries, including the Sauk River, and is home to several fish species, including Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. The Skagit River experiences seasonal trends, with higher flows during the winter and spring months and lower flows in the summer and fall. An interesting fact about the Skagit River is that it is the only river in Washington state that supports all five species of salmon.
