I certainly remember those good old days. Many a morning I was on the slough at daylight, wearing my waders over my suit pants, dress shirt and tie, so I could pull the waders and head to Seattle for my job that started at 10AM.

It was pretty decent steelheading and could be good for Jack Chinook and mature Chinook in the fall, plus some SRC.

We've lost several fishing locations near urban areas due to various circumstances,

I used to catch cutthroat in Forbes Creek below what is now Highway 405 before they built an office park there. Juanita Creek was three minutes from my house in Kirkland and many late afternoon's were spent procuring pan-sized Cutthroat for dinner.

These waters have been closed for many years. I guess it is a sign of the times.
