400 steelhead is very believable. back in they great daze of the cowlitz huge steelhead returns. i knew a guy who only fished during the week after work. 100% side drifter. he could catch as many as 20 a afternoon. he knew every rock and cranny in the entire BC area. he knew when the river had high pressure he would fish tight to the shore when everyone else was doing the same methodical runs. he read the water knew at different heights the fish be here rather than there.

the article was typical Zog. it smacks of typical if it's not done this way it's not true fishing rederik.

this piticular blog reminds me of a STS article he did back the mid 90s i believe. it went something like this. the canadians were angry at zog because his spoon method was not a true method of taking steelhead. he(zog) went on to defend how he'd rather hook 8 kispiox huge steelhead on spoons in aday. over a fly guys 2 in the same amount of time. to zog the the numbers counted in his defense of spoons.

now it seems he has joined the canadian mentality, thinking that 18 steelhead landed side drifting is not legit.

blah blah blah, yada yada yada!!!!
