BTW I just replentished by chicken flock. The Rooster is a big guy with lots of barred feathers just like the ones on your latest popper, but with his almost 3 inch spurs I'm a little apprehensive about trying to harvest any. Thanks for the posts SF. When I was younger, before I caught my steelhead addiction I spent most my time targeting cutties in most of the streams all around the Hood Canal. Ironically we always hooked several steelhead every year on light spinning setups as bycatch, but it took me years to even consider targeting them. Ah the good old days. Thanks again.
