I fished notelum river today, went 2/3 on steelhead with spoons and went 1/3 on cutthroat with dry flies and nymphs. The one cutty i landed was caught on a size 8 parachute adams. I was fishing alone so only managed to get a pic of 1 of the steelies i caught. They were similar in size. 3ft-7ft of vis deppending on the tributary. Saw dozens and dozens of steelies and the same amount of resident trout. Hopefully you guys can get your steely fix soon too.

Nice job!! I was suppose to be out chasing steel today which would have been our opener for the reiter ponds terminal fishery. As luck has my annual steelhead opener is now ruined and to make things worse guys are probably out fishing right now and hatchery intake for these fish opens up today. By the time they open it most fish would have spooked, taken or have shot up the tube. A sad day in washington but glad to see others like yourself still hooking a few even if its not in the states!! *=

These fish im targeting are completely and udderly un pressured. I litterally had the entire river in solitude, not a single car spotted in 30km of river. I hope some of the tribs open for you guys to explore over there. The terminal hatchery zone is pretty unapealing.

Don't usually fish the hatchery but usually downriver a bit away from crowds either way they are opening soon so I heard just patiently waiting now!
