i have lived on the washougal river since 1976 and chased its steelhead almost as long. i remember having 11 fish days. if anyone is serious about a challenge try fishing the washougal. now there is no identifiable run at all i dont know anyone who has caught a fish from the washougal in 4 years..
i read reports of what people call "fair" fishing where a guy goes out and only hooks one or two in a day. personally i think thats outstanding fishing.. hang on to what you've got guys or you'll lose it.. me im giving up moving to montana.
