YES. I keep coming here to see fish but no pictures just words. I could put the steelhead I got last Sunday but I think it was a summer run as she had loose eggs

But hey, fish right next to me and you'll probably be in the 2% of the folks that are catching. Four fish pulled right out from under me this morning.

I was on the other side all morning... say 7:30 on and saw 3 fish taken before noon. A lot slower than I would have thought with the dropping river. :)

I'm in Woodinville, so if you can get close, shoot me an email. I work Sunday through Wed or Thurs morning. Fishing is all good after that. The boat works too but it's a bit big for the Sky.

I've been up to the top of the flats with it but, it's just a little tense drifting some of the short runs. It becomes not so much fun when a guy is worried all the time. #-o #-o #-o

I did try the Stilly today. I just posted a report. I got a nice 29' female today at Fortson. About a dozen guys, 4 caught. Stilly is wiped out below Fortson, French Creek and Deer Creek are puking.

Yah its been a bum deal, I went from a standard cold last week but luckily everything was flooded out so I didn't miss much fishing, but then this week I picked up some super bug and my whole head is completely screwed up. I would tough it out and just go, but the cold air outside is KILLER on the throat and lungs right now... 2 weeks, 2 colds, LAME!

Although there IS talk in the air about 2 buddies and I making it to Blue Creek on Monday with the sled... we'll see how that turns out.
