So true. The last few years I went from hooked fish near daily to hooking a couple a season on my home waters that close early. It is really starting to grind my gears how many people I talk to that went 1 for 5. Or hooked and lost one. Or landed a twenty pounder. I’ve been fishing these waters for 20+ years, and apparently I forgot how to fish because it seems like everyone is out fishing me. I really think 90% of steelhead are BS right now. Nobody wants to admit how bad it is, they would rather brag about made up fish to stoke their ego.
