I fished the Snohomish for sturgeon on Saturday. My report for that is "only a few crab bites."

But, what I wanted to ask about was while using the side finder on my Bottomline recorder, I marked fish after fish. These fish were up in the water column and not down on the bottom. I did mark a few underneath the boat, but 95% of them were spotted on sideview. What the heck was I looking at... a large bunch of steelhead headed up river??

I think pile perch and blackmouth can be eliminated. Shouldn't be fry as whatever it was, was big enough to regiser on the recorder and they were only onesey, twosey... not a real big bunch at any one time.
