I recently moved to Puyallup from the Peninsula. I've been fishing for steelhead for years, but this I certainly never thought I'd see. I went to the Cowlitz for my first time (Blue Creek) and there were 20 or so guys on the bank throwing 1.5 oz lead with 12-20 foot leaders. Needless to say, they caught fish. I DIDN'T. WHY DO THEY DO THIS AND WHY ARE THEY SO SUCCESSFUL? HELP....Also, what should I bring down there for a future trip in the way of gear. Thanks so much for your help.
