Stonefish,

Looks like you were wade fishing both rivers, not floating? Were those two different cutthroats on the Yak? I hear of a few cutts caught there, but it seems like rainbows dominate the catch and fish population.

Nice to hear about SRCs on the Cowlitz. I fished for steelhead last Sunday and only got one SRC incidentally. I was expecting more. I guess I should target water and methods to find out if many are around. They should be near peak abundance now.
