1978 Tolt River cabin hole. A chrome 12 pound hen.

Like Stam I fished many years before that with my dad on the Quinalt in the early 60's, but we had no idea what we weere doing and caught nothing. Then I took off a few years, while my dad was becoming an excellent steelheader. Got back into it in 70's. BTW my dad becanme quite proficient after he turned 70. He caught his last srteelhead at age 88.
