yeah been there I do not know if anyone read my fetha styx fishing story (btw kockmandoo has a pretty good one too) but at the cowlitz there was only 3 steelhead hooked 2 landed and those 2 were mine. Coolest feeling ever but the times when you the one being skunked it is like you just want to yell "WHY ME!!!" absolutely sucks

nice metal FF, I have been hearing some good things about the skagit lately by other guides so maybe the run is coming up slowly. Have you been fishing swift creek at all? Good access down there too.

really haha. I have never fished there but nice long stretch looks better from a boat. What about around the eddies and big bend? Might take our drifter out in a couple of weeks.
Those guide elites look nice, the guy at defiance really put a lot of pride into making it just for guides.
