I had a good winter, probably my second best in the last 6 next to last year. Last year, the water was always low and fishable and I killed them. I caught several high teens & twenties last year too. This year, flows were more typical and the rivers were blown some of the time, so I didn't get to fish as much. Still plenty of fish, though. I didn't see as many big natives on the OR coast this year, but there were plenty of 8 to 12 pounders. Lost one about 15. So far this year, my biggest steelie was a 16 pound summer run.
