Had one three years back on the Lyre that is probably the best yet, for steelhead anyway. It was after a big rain and all the other rivers were puking mud so I thought maybe the Lyre would still be in. Got there at light and the river was so brown that it looked as if someone had taken a dump in it. There wasnt another soul around, it was obvious why. After about two hours of nothing I found a quiet piece of water that wasnt moving, maybe eight feet long by five feet wide, I threw my eggs, or should I say put my pole straight out and let line out, it wasnt but five seconds and I felt a fish nibbling down on my bait, set the hook and bammo a nice chromer comes flying out of the water. I ended up losing that fish but hooking ten other chrome bright fish and getting my two for the day in a matter of about an hour. All were caught like two feet from the bank. It is really true, when it is brown, just find a quiet piece of water and fish it at your feet.
