Had a GREAT last Saturday fishing on the Snohomish...

Pulled in two chrome bright steelies (each within about 1 minute of each other!!)

The first was a hatchery weighing 12 lbs. The other was a hatchery
weighing 7.8 (well...ok...lets just call her an even eight!).
had a third one pull our pole down but was unable to get it close to the
boat... (Fished corkies and shrimp.)

This was my first experience with steelhead! Man...I'm hooked now! I have to tweak my boat a little to make it safe to run in the river (getting river-run prop protector...not as good as a jet sled...but...you work with what ya got i guess.)

The guy i was fishing with thought for sure we had a king on when we hooked into that 12 lber!...it sort of laid low and acted like it didn't even know it was hooked and then when it saw the boat...BAM...burn the line, baby!
