Eric you and 69'er are right on the money ,Having fished for steelhead for 25 plus years I've watched it all come down to this,I watched the Nisqually reduced to what it is today ( unfishable for steelhead ) these huge native fish in my opinion were in a class by them selves .Now it's the Nooch too many people too many boats and not just drift boats it's those DAMN sleds going too fast in shallow water blowing all those spawning beds to Sh-t !!!!! they don't belong here it's just not big enough,but hey it's a free country but... it's a sad day,I have other options thank god but you won't see me on the nooch any time soon ,so I guess that will be 1 less guy to worry about,and that will leave more room for milkvin to coduct his class on steelhead etiquite I gone headed to the zipper ...P.s. 69'er being a fellow cat rower maybe we should get together SHHHHHH quiet they will hear you .....
