Catch my first one. I plan on taking a few days off in August and try the Skok w/some buddies. And catch a steelhead.

Catch saltwater pinks on my ultra-light kokanee set up. Knowing my luck I'll hook into a 20+lb king!
Get my toon rigged up with a reliable and safe anchor system so that I can pull some plugs on the Snoqualmie.

My logic - The pinks weren't in last year so it's gotta be this year.
Rule of thumb for Washington State - Pinks return heavy in the odd years.

My Goal, is simular to Kavy. Try to catch a steelie in the mud staind water. The other goal is to make up for the lost season from last year due to Uncle Sam.

Fish, Fish, FISH?
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

"see" a steelhead on the tolt river. If I could just see one, just one, then I would know all the hours I've spent going up and down that river were not in vain. If I saw one it would give me hope that at least I'm fishing for something. Right now I'm just catching branches.
I won't kill anything less than a meal

You know that they stopped planting hatchery steelhead in the tolt a few years ago right?

To fish safely and enjoy the sport whether I catch or not.For me its all about relaxing.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.
