It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

RabidAngler: "leading me to believe they bite stuff."
Yes they do or used to. Back in the 60's I bought oakies from Willy Slinker in Centralia by the 100's. ( 7 cents each) Catching steelhead was not difficult. I then decided to try something a little different. I collected pieces of pumice along the Toutle, drilled a hole in them and strung them on a string in a box and sprayed them florescent red usually. Worked nearly as well. And a lot cheaper. Those were the days, my friends. Yeah, but were they the original pumice rocks, or from one of the more recent eruptions?

A few years before the mountain blew, on the Toutle I saw a guy catch a summer run on an oyster. Only impressive if that oyster was still in it's shell! The more I think about it, the more that wouldn't surprise me either. Stupid steelhats.....

Back in the early 70's a guy caught a winter steelhead on the upper Puyallup. As a kid I watched him gut it and inside it's gut was what looked like a half digested sparrow or some small bird. Everyone was amazed.

My buddy caught a summer run on the Cowlitz that had a partially digested water ouzel in its belly.
Summer steelhead will eat your ass if they can.

Everyone was amazed. They are dumb & greedy aren't they? I've caught several 20" plus regular ol' trout with mice, sparrows, voles and what not already crammed into their bellies and yet, they were still hungry for more. My favorite "after dark" top water fly for big browns is a spun hair bass mouse slammed hard against the shoreline / weedline. I've caught a just "few" 10 pound+ browns on mice. Biggest damn near 20 lbs. Big fish eat big meat. Shocking.

Done the same on a "never-tell" stream in Wyoming. Used 20 lb tippet to both handle the fish and pull those big flies back out of the brush without breaking off.

I've caught a just "few" 10 pound+ browns on mice. Biggest damn near 20 lbs. Where?? I want in! CO, WY & UT in secret spots and private waters. For public, I'll give you one place. It's pretty much the single greatest inland fishing waters within the continental US - if you know what you are doing. Flaming Gorge. See one Del Canty (old friend of family - use Google). 2 am, Pitch black, headlamp, float tube tied off to truck bumper with a couple hundred yards of paracord. Freezing cold, cold even in summer. 7 wt to mouse or black Pike fly = getting towed all over to hell and back. It's beyond epic. If you are really, really interested....PM me. Past that, I've already said too much on a public board. There's dudes out in CO & WY that just put a contract out on my arse (for real). Shhh...
