Quality and quantity can and does go hand in hand. I have had some banner days fishing for steelhead when I havent seen another angler besides the ones I was with. These days usually come late in the season. On one occasion 4 of us decided to bank it in the Siletz gorge. We ended up hooking 18 nates. We landed and released 12. I landed 2 fish that were in the high teens on back to back casts. Thats a day I will never forget. March, April and the very first part of May are my favorite time to be out on the rivers.
Lets hear some stories of high number days with no people around.
