This is a combo report for the day targeting two different species.

First I departed to Reiter hatchery and searched around for some steelhead. There was plenty of people there, only a couple caught steelhead. I personally have a random inclination for not catching my target fish, but instead dealing with another equally worthy opponent.

This time, Mrs. Chinook decided she had enough of my happily vibrating spinner and took a chomp on it. Never caught a King up here, so that was pretty cool. Pretty good fish, not too colored up for this time of year. Released and let her go on her way.

No steelhead resulted from my efforts with hardware so I drove downriver to pursue my second quarry. The Pinks are in thick, caught 14 in a couple hours on silver and pink kastmaster spoons, lost about as many due to barbless hooks. Released them all and called it a day.

Pretty Good overall, the rain has definitely made a difference.
