Reading this post sure brought back some memories from the mid-70's.

I was a school teacher, so summer months gave me a chance to fish on this fine fish.

1974-1980--Trolled the North, Elk, Johns, East Hoquiam and the Chehalis Rivers. My lure of choice was size 8 Hilderbrandt & worms. I caught fish in all the rivers but my choice was the Chehalis from Montesano down toward Central Park.

I was amazed that a fish 16-20" could hit that hard, jump pulling the gear clear out of the water, fight like mad and taste that good.

Fishing was around the 4th of July....Old saying "little wild black berries and sea run cutthroat" catching/picking was about the same time.

Limit went to 2, and summer run steelhead became my summer fish of choice.

Thanks for posting and showing nice examples of sea run's.
