Good going Steely Addict! I will also love it when you hook into a big 20+" 'bow and it rips ya all over the river, but you get the best of it anyway. Like I said, there a only a few of those huge Koot' Lk. plants in there, but knowing that you could hook into one bigger than the average NW steelhead keeps the excitement level up. And fighting lots of 'em between 12 and 20" is still a lot of fun too. Keep us up on the Koot action. Some of us MT fans will be fishing it vicariously thru you.
