Thumper I bet thoes were the only 3 wild fish you caught all year too. For the past 3 winters I have put in an average of about 30 days per winter On the East Fork and Washougal combined , Mostly on the East Fork I have caught 1 fish on a fly and it was a wild fish. last year I spent exactly 2 days on the Hoh with the same result as 60 days locally. Likewise the year before in 5 days on the Sauk I caught 1 fish. Fly fishing works for steelhead Just not the lethargic chmbers creek fish they put in the East lewis that gang up in 5 or 6 pools that are accessible by foot which are full of gear fishermen. I am not denying that there are good numbers of hatchery fish there they do not however provide a quality experience!

The chambers creek fish hold in the following pools
Under the daybreak bridge, The powerline run, The Arabs hole and a couple of the high banked pools and a couple spots in lewisville park. Thats it for bank fishermen. The East Lewis used to provide that it no longer does. the wild fish population is in the low hundreds and there are literally more fishermen than fish.
For me a quality experience involves fish that will respond to a fly and in conditions where I can find a little elbow room. That is why I'd leave my beloved State and move to BC.
And that is why I don't like fishing the East Lewis
