To all fishermen..... Although i have been hitting CQ, Sky, Sno ect. real hard i am starting to think of late salmon and winter steelhead. My problem is that i have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. I have recently fished the lewis st. bridge in Monroe. It was great my wife and I could fish and be in arms reach of our kids in pfds. My trophy will be winterized soon and i would like to exspose the family to some bank steelheading as well. I found a few places on the Cow. that let me keep a tight arm on the kids as well as fish. But im looking for a little more. the Queets was great last weekend but the rain i think will make this a little tough with the rising water the beaches will be gone. And yes my 4 year old Casted and landed his first river Pink ( foul hooked so i had a long 10 min talk about foul hooking and how we need to real a little faster and keep you tip a little higher. but of course this discusstion will have to happen a few more times before he understands). Anyway any help would great. And anywhere in WA.

Thanks

Winterizing ??? Blackmouth is just beginning to get hot!

If you fish the Sky you might try Sultan. It is pretty open there. A lot of guys fish it because it is easy access around there. When Reiter is open on the Sky you can fish there. You park at the hatchery and walk the path right to the water edge. These are areas fished fairly heavily but easier river access with no boat.

Oh yes!! Downrigger has the right idea too. That is where I spend most of the time! Nothing like a nice winter day catching Black mouth!!!
