You hit it on the head Mike.....due to scenes like that every year I find myself fishing less and less for river salmon and more for steelhead. If all the same people (quantity and quality) that fished for salmon also fished for steelhead, I'd take up flyfishing.

Number of trips to the river since the Aug. 16th opener for me? Zero. I've been hunting nearly every day since Sept. 1, but I just don't care to catch humpies anymore and the silvers are lousy biters right now.
