Two biggest were around 17 each, caught on back to back casts on the Hoh, March 21st. Both chrome bright hens and the end to a great day where I hooked twelve natives. But the best fishing news for me this year was the fantastic fishing on a South Puget Sound area river five minutes from home. I fished this river every weekend from Christmas thru early March and had multiple hookups every day but one. End of year results were 41 fish hooked 27 landed. All but four were beautiful native fish which were all released. On a year where alot of anglers are complaining about the returns, this was a real blessing and hopefully next year will be just as good. Let's hope my summer run streams do as well this year.
