On the heels of the first big rain in nov just curious if anyone has hooked any early steelies yet this year. I got one in early sept last year, (and it wasnt a summerrun).

probably heading out thurs don't know to bring my salmon gear or steelhead "eggs"

You won't be alone ma-man. I'm sick of salmon and will be probing the cobble for early brats on Friday. Good Luck.

I wonder if there will be any brats before my birthday this year. It seems to be a late run. Oh well maybe by Thanksgiving.

Quillayutes apparently got 123 in the nets yesterday. So there obviously are a few around.

Speaking of which, if anyone is interested in a trip for them, dates are getting pretty scarce a couple of days at the end of both November and December ... nothing in between, so you might wanna make plans soon

My Fishing buddy got one sunday on a O.P river just chrome bright.The Cow has some fish come in they got 34 at Barrier Dam and I don't know how many at the trout hatchery but probably twice as many
