Yeah, Danny is one fishy dude. Spinners no less. I've got spinners like those. Even put the single barbless hooks on them. Black Gami's. Catching A King out of the Skagit on one is a different story.

How about you tell everyone and kill just him. I think that's a fair trade, haha.

Thanks for being the sacrificial lamb sven2k5

fished the sky opening day and ended up going 4/5. HOLY CRAP! totally forgot how feisty these summer runs are! SO good to finally catch some steel again. fished monday and wednesday, too. noticeably not as good as opening day, and by wednesday only went 0/1. seems to be slowing down a bit. these were my first two from opening day. both caught on spoons. was an awesome day with some good friends. great to fish with out having to wear 4 layers too. think I actually got a sunburn :)

Awesome steelhead buddy! Yea i will have a few dates next week, then after the end of next week i will be taking most of june-july off to fish in canada. Although the last 3 days have been a freak thing with a huge push of fish, we are still catching them good now that its back to normal. I can promise you this however, i will never again hook 35 springers by 10am again. Ever

WOW! 35!?! That's EPIC! I can't even imagine how that must feel. Way to go! My buddy Nate has never caught one and would love to get him his first... Unfortunately, he's out of town until next Sunday :( Will PM you and see what dates you have open. Thanks!
