For me fishing hatchery Steelhead tends to be a pain in the butt. Much more time spent trying to hook fish then when I fish for natives. Maybe that's because our plants up here don't compare to some of the plants around the Olympia area and the Pennisula. When I use to live down that way I use to catch about the same amount hatchery or native. Once the natives start to show I caught way, way more up here for much less time spent on the river.
