oh haha, i was watching a couple other vids from that guy because I saw it on fetha styx FB page and his buddies did pretty well too on what looked like yarn balls or corkies, never fished there before looks like you would need a good amount of lead haha. Did look like a hard river to land fish in though.

There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

Finally a stellar day on the Snoqualmie. Two fish caught and both released unharmed. I caught a Dolly V and a big native hen. It felt so fricking good to catch and release. Thanks all for the tips on bait. n [thumbsup] [thumbsup] :cheers:

Posted a report and put the image on there. I couldn't figure out how to post the pick on here. I went to the north fork today and caught a bright chrome steelhead. Wasn't huge, about 5 pounds or so. First fish of the year. The water was really low and clear and should have been way more action. I saw about 4 caught including mine.
