I have in my possession a kitchen pass from my wife that will allow me to head up to Sekiu on the weekend of July 14th and 15th. My boat partner can't go, he gets to spend some quality time at the Yakima firing center. Too bad for him.

Are there any of you folks who would be willing to trade a salmon trip for a steelhead trip?

I plan on leaving the Olympia area around noon. I have an 18 foot Seaswirl bowrider, with two motors, GPS, and bases for Penn downriggers. If you have a 600 or 625, or have access to one, great, otherwise I am considering buying another. Two fish finders on the boat, plus all safety gear.

My plans are to rough it at the Coho campground, and I can get a spot reserved without any issue.

If this sounds interesting, let me know, as I think I may have room for one or two additional folks.

The primary requirement is that you have a riverboat, not a paddlewheel, and that you are an experienced steelheader.

Looking forward to it, Andy
