Not a very good year for me after having my best year in 1999. I did manage to get some summer runs at the not so zipperlip river near the Oregon coast. Last two trips there on Labor Day and Fathers Day weekends I managed to get some steelies. Caught my first river silvers on the other side of the canal this fall. The best part are the eggs in my freezer.

Totally skunked on the northwest side of the Olympic Peninsula this year fishing for steelies. I think the low/slow water had alot to do with it. Did have one takedown on a plug the first and only time I went down in a driftboat last spring. Got an agressive bite last week, first cast, on a sandshrimp, on a small river that reminds me of the river I fish in Oregon.
