Fished the last christmas night, the next day, and last night with only one show, a 31inch, 10-11lb glow balled cowlitz river winter steelhead. not only my first cowlitz winter steelhead but my first glow balling steelhead, which bit a 6ft leader, 2 #10 glow corkies and a 1/0 hook. Felt the take, a couple headshakes then through the moon light a saw it jump about 4-5ft out of the water then stormed right at me and settle the rest of the fight a couple feet from shore where it was later landed and tagged. Well that happened to be the only action I got, while others did alright, the next day I counted/heard of atleast 10 fish on the beach and another dozen or so caught by the boats and guides. Crowds were not all that bad but seeing the boat guys casting at our feet and drifting threw our gear kind of made me mad.
I also fished the skookumchuck and released a few boots and some good rollers but not too many good ones being caught. I heard the plunkers are doing well for steelhead though.

They cast at your feet 'cause that's where the fish are at. Ticks me off too...they might as well join the bankies! Nice fish!

Yep, they cast at your feet use a bobber and jig with 30 lb power pro and you will be in business.

whos they, I was casting about half way out.
Are you guys talking about the boats? One guide was plugging right next to the bank could hardly get a cast in.

Fire a couple shots in the air with your pistol, that's what I like to do. It's not illegal, if your out of the city limits. I can't believe anyone would want to fish with those crowds. I don't have the patience I guess, plus fishing is so precious to me to share with a bunch of creatins, who have no respect for the envoiroment. I can't believe how much trash people leave around these days. I fish to avoid people. Not deal with them, might as well go to work.
