While I'm a yungen compared to anyone who's actually seen decent steelhead fishing in these waters...I remember my first camping trip to the Dosey in '98, back when I was a junior in high school before I even owned a fishin' pole.

It was August, we were camping there for a few days. My buddy and I hiked up from the 101 bridge and spooked about 4 summer steelhead in a gin-clear run. The thrill of that moment (to any kid who's never even seen a fish that big, let alone caught one!) was cemented in my memory. It was to that moment I can blame my passionate obession with those finned critters. I spend many days shortly after that scouting the Hamma, Duck, Dosey for fish. I

wish someone in power would have the balls to do something productive for these runs.
