Thanks Ralph. Yea if ya work hard enough you can find a few. But 4/6 in 3 days at forks isnt quite ideal when i had 15 fish in a morning sometimes last year. Big change this season

Got to get out with Nate and fish from his SICK new Pavati drift boat! This boat handles nice, runs in shallow water and is built like a tank! We each rowed, but Nate rowed most of the day, so i was the one fishing most of the time. We hooked 4 and landed 3 steelhead!

Yep, it was Danny's first time on the Wynoochee. I grew up down their fishing the Chehalis system, so I took Danny down there to show off my skills and my new boat. When you're going to a new river, helps even the guides to go out with someone who knows it.
