If not for hatchery fish in these systems a whole bunch of us on this board would have never gotten hooked on Steelhead.



I've seen at least three 20+ wild fish on the Snohomish system prior to New Years Day.

If you've been fishing these rivers for 30+ years you remember the "Flagpole" hole filling up with nates in Dec. And those weren't little nates.
