born in '90 I suppose I'm one of those flat billers(still count without a flat bill?). my first steelhead was a native on the hoh plunking with mom while we waited on dad to come down the crick. oh about 7 years old or so. we would toss out the usual pyramid with spin n glow and eggs. I still remember the fight of this thing. ya know looking back I couldn't tell you the size of it as it didnt matter. the wild fish was quickly drug on the rocks and bonked on the head. when dad finally came around the gravel bar we hoisted our catch and it was all smiles.
