Obviously, I'm brand new to this forum, and first of all I want to say this is definately the most kick-*** fishing site for the northwest on the web. I've been going crazy looking for good sites, and I'm glad I found this!

I'm about to graduate from high school in a few weeks, and when I do I'm headed off to the United States Air Force Academy (Go Falcons!) in Colorado Springs, and I pretty much only have less than a month left to fish the Northwest. I've lived in Vancouver, WA my whole life and I've only caught two salmon, both six years ago with a friends family over by bouy ten, and never even seen a steelhead. Any suggestions or tips you have for a rookie looking to land a few steelhead or springers in a month would be awesome. By the way, I live in Vancouver, WA, but driving is not really an issue. I'll go anywhere in pursuit!


Thanx ahead of time!!


PS I'm thinking of hitting the Wind River this Saturday. I've been there once before, but no luck. Any tips? Thanx again!
