my grandparents have lived on the duckabush sense the early 90's. as a result i have fished the hell out of that river for both chum and steelhead. in the almost 20 years i have fished it the chum run has went from barely being able to see the bottom of the river due to so many fish.......all the way down to barely seeing a single fish in any hole.

as far as steelhead are concerned. i would spend 2 weeks every year during new years over there. i have personally seen a total of 3 steelhead and that was in the early 90's. caught one of them and though it was a trout and turned it loose.

its a has shame what has happend to the canal rivers. the duckabush has some great steelhead water
