Pounded the nf of the stilly all day yesterday. Fished from fortson down To oso hittin every hole I knew and nothin. Watched my buddy lose a nice native, caught a few dollies but didnt even so much as spot another steelhead. Im thinking friday was the hot one.

Went back up to fortson in the evening and one guy had been there all day. Hadnt even seen a fish on

those late summers look pretty cool but nothing compared to a chrome one but steelhead nonetheless, may I ask if it is a S river you are catching those from?
ODH and nate are guiding the skook duh...only thing I can guide are chum and quilcene coho trips thats it maybe march/april skook steelhead too.

I thought I would chip in here and post a pic finally. Most of my steelies have not been huge this yr and yes that's a shoe lace as a stringer since I had forgot mine. It still did the job. Tightlines...
