If you are that new to the sport, there are other rivers that have more fish and better access. I would recommend the Cowlitz at Blue Creek or Barrier Dam, how about the Kalama with ten miles of unlimited bank access.
If you are coming from Seattle, why the Wynoochie?

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
