I am tired of people complaining about zipperlips. Any one with an couple minutes can find every zipperlip in the state that has steelhead in it. To save even that short time I am putting the link here.

Save the pdf file Complete 1999-2000 steelhead harvest report. Or any other year for that matter. Open it in Adobe, and BAM, every river that has had a steelhead caught in it in WA. Broke down into months and river drainages. This is every open and legal water in WA, so that means if anyone else is fishing a zipperlip that is not listed, they are poaching. If you need to find a water listed, check out your closest WA atlas. If you want fishing all to yourself, hike your butts up into the mountians or take a boat 25 miles off the coast. We ALL pay for these fish, so we ALL should be able to ask about them without worrying about snobs who need to go back to Seattle and cry in their Lattes.
