Deer Lake, Steven's Co, similar trees, BUT when I fished it seemed like a bunch of houses and mountains in background a long time ago, can't place location by memory.

Deer Lake isn't an early opener. There is a city on one side of the lake, and a hospital on the other side. Lake has Rainbows, Browns, Carp & Tench.
Try again.

You got it Mark. It's a really fun lake if you don't get caught in the predominant high winds from the SW. Anybody post who wants to.

I'll have to give it a try sometime, although, motors prohibited means no electric motor, how do I work them oars on my lil john boat, olive woolly bugger, leaded line, 0000 dodger! LOL used to be a hot combo, maybe not so much now. I just can't seem to deal with "change!" LOL

I've fished Medical Lake more often with a jon boat than I have with a pontoon or float tube. I rig a milk crate between my legs with a rod holder attached and row all day long, really slow. I wait for my fly rod to start jumping around and then go into action. Fun fun fun, till someone takes my T-Bird away. The biggest fish I ever caught on a fly rod was on Medical Lake. Unfortunately it was about a 20 pound Tench on a 5 weight rod. Not much of a fight.

I am running thin on photos from the digital camera but here is one that is pretty vague. Sorry no landmark but trying to keep the game going. Hint small river/stream that holds steelhead, kings, coho, dolly varden and sea run cutthroat.

Nope. Great guess though. About the same size.

Hint: it is a trib to a coastal river

Nope not a "Strait" river. Coastal. And it flows into a larger river, not directly into the salt.

well I give up, the pic just looked familiar to the pic of the Dungeness river in the river forum.

Well, that narrows it down to about 1,000 streams.[rolleyes]

It is legal to wet a line. That should narrow it down a bit more.[flapper]

Going from the hints and not a recognizable location, I will guess the Salmon river.
