RipDatLip,

I am not sure if you are joking or serious. If you are serious and you have been fishing for several years, I am sure the main reason you haven't been able to catch one is your timing. TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Even if you are Bill Herzog and there are no fish in the river, you are not going to catch anything. Well, I'll take that back. Bill Herzog will probably create fish. Read some of his books for techniques. I think your timing is the problem. Find out when the fish are in. Drive by your local rivers to spot crowds or cars and check this web site and WA Dept. Of Fish and Wildlife site and talk to your local tackle shops and you will be successful. Timing can be more important than techniques at times. Those 10-15 Steelhead a day that you hear once in a while are most likely true but that is mostly due to perfect timing not perfect techniques.
