RE:Winter Steel
I know they're in the Queets system already as of two weeks ago. I can't wait for 'em either. I heard that it's really spotty at reiter on the sky, but there are a few. There are always some sorta steelhead on the Cowlits, the summers trickle in until the winters start showing, but the moment that they show up in force you won't be able to chain me to my desk at home during the hours of daylight. Heheh.

RE:Winter Steel
The upper sky will on the norm from what trips ive been up there will see at least one fish. Normally better than the whole wallace. But then again im normally on the wallace so what do i know. If i had a easy way up there i would fish every chance i could but sadly i only have like one friend that fishes the rivers up there with me

RE:Winter Steel
We were out on the Callawah in Forks two weeks ago and the Steelhead in there were still summer / fall run. The winter run, for the Oly Pen at least, should be trickling in here towards the end of the month.

RE:Winter Steel
Try Penninsula rivers. They are pulling out some Steel right now. With this rain winter steel will be comming in.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

RE:Winter Steel
WOW, When did you last go. I was there last december and you couldn't keep them off the hook! It was like pinks were in the river I saw a fish landed every 5 to ten minutes. Maybe it's just a shorter run but it was far from dead.donman wrote:Yeah that run went way down hill from yester year.
