I added the remaining 15 Rivers, that were in the article. Now remember, that there are many rivers that aren't listed.

People didn't have to go far from where they lived to fish for steelhead AND chances of catching a fish were very good.

Doc-----because you "are young"....I remember the Humptulips, had a 3 fish limit, at the upper train bridge, xmas time of the year, there would be what seemed like 100+ fishermen and steelhead stacked on the bank.

Not many boats, in those days.......and access to the river for bankies was about everywhere.....from the Forks clear to tide water. If you weren't a drift fisherman....seemed that much of the lower part of the river had plunker places that always had people there.

Glad I got to fish.....THE OLD DAYS.......
