Toutle 1974 my Dad and Uncle gave me a box of spoons and a trout pole to keep me busy while they fished the prime parts of the runs I got lucky and landed like a 5-6 pound snake in transition water ( I wasn't even looking at the river when I hooked into it). If you asked me that day I thought it was a 20 pounder all I remember thinking was " It's going to pull me into the river" !!! That's when my addiction began, I was 11.
