I'm 14 years old and have never caught a stealhead or salmon. Can you give me any info on where the fish are on the green or the pualup rivers

Well young man I don't fish your area but at 14 it just reminded me of my first steelhead that I caught and I was 14 also. That was 1953 on the banks of the Humptulips River. I wasn't old enough to drive yet so I went with friends. I still can remember tieing on that homemade copper spoon on a steel rod with a 300 Mitchell spinning reel and just hoping to catch a Cutthroat or anything. I hadn't even seen what a Steelhead looked like yet. The spoon stopped moving and I set the hook and 9#'s of dyno on the end of my string.
Here it is 47 years later and I'm still trying to catchum' 2 drift boats, 2 sleds dozens of graphite rods, Ambassaduers all worn out, spinning reels just collecting dust, empty spools of every kind of line imagimable laying around, Calcuttas, noodle rods, okies,corkies by the zillions and rags, hot shots and wiggle warts hanging from every place I can hang a nail, no room to walk thru my shop and millions of memories on those beautiful
Steelies in my head that just won't go away.

I hope you can find the right place and the right water and the right secret lure to go and catch you a bigun'. And when you do you'll be in there with the rest of us going crazy when it rains and crying when it doesn't.
Thanks for the memories, fp
