I remember how thick they used to be and late. Early steelhead fishing above Monroe after 1985 you could catch as many as you pleased. It was lots of fun and good experiance for the novice angler that I was.

As far as earlier moldy comments its probobly why those folks are still novice fisherman. I couldn't imagine becoming a great drift fisherman without catching massive amounts of fish as it still was HOT on PS streams back in the late 80s & early 90s. Puyallup, Green, Nisqually...etc.
