Thank you Dave for capturing a chapter for our archives of northwest heritage. I have the STS with your article in it and have read it more than once. One of the things I remember without re-reading the type above was something about steelhead jumping all over hell. Loved that! Just wish we could have days like that again. We travel for these reasons but even standing on some of the famous runs of the Skagit, Tolt, Skykomish etc., I still get a nostalgic feeling of those who came before me and what it was like. This part of steelheading is personally special to me after all the hype and politics of our current fishing situation.
