[NWDude]

Took my buddie out for his first time steelheading last week. lucky guy hooked up with this nice winter run on his 6th cast. it was the only fish i saw caught all morning.
other 2 are summer runs i caught last week also.

NWdude, that steelhead in the middle picture on the ground seems to be a winter run as well, a November buck summer run would be much darker, looks like ya got 2 winters there. Nice! Better than Ive done so far, awesome fish! keep em coming!

Thanks man! Ha I wasn't sure what to call it since I imagined a winter run to be a bar of chrome.

It's early, but no too early. The runs should just now be starting to trickle in. The next good rain should start bringing them up. The bulk of the fish probably won't start showing at the hatcheries until mid- to late December, but there will be a few in the systems already. Good luck.

[racfish]

Hahahaha El Gringo no talko .

[fear_no_fish]

It was worth a shot. Haha.
Rurple sounds like a pretty solid color but I don't think that is it.

Slow still and very cold this week but picking up fish occasionally. Been trying skagit, cascade, sky, nothing is good yet but each has a few fish. Maybe this weeks rain...
