I'm ahead of all of you. In my earlier years in enforcement, I caught two "steelheaders', one snagging and another dynamiting! Both on the Kalama in the 80's. I "retained" both of them. BTW, my first winter steelhead was caught on an Okie with yarn. Took a while to educate myself to what an egg bite felt like. It helped when I went from a heavy rod to my home built Lamiglas 7802.

This is a good post. Enjoying reading the history. I've got lots of old okies and corkies, and an original Cherry Bobber - somewhere.
