Steelhead Defination: A myth developed by Les Davis to help him sell lures to the hopelessly hopefull!
I think (THINK is the active verb here) I had a Steel head on for a second or two in the Skykomish.
I was fishing for Rainbow, and felt a slight tug.
Just about the time I was tightening up the line, getting ready to set the hook if it really was a fish, rrrrrriiiiippppppp and all my line was snatched out from between my fingers and down to the Reel in that one second.
Snap! WHizzzzzz the reel went coasting to a stop.
All gone! What ever it was.
But in had to be a Steelhead or a passing Submarine.
[fishin]
In the old Snoqualimie ox-bows near North Bend there are Bass. Yup! I fished for em with a friend.
Where it comes down through Denny Creek park I learned to walk on water.
I was dribbeling a Dry Fly down out of a Riffle and fell off the big boulder into a deep hole. Yikes. I came up running. That was Ice Water.
The Snoqualimie was good right along the hiway on the way to North Bend, but best was up above the falls.
You could actually walk a mile or more from the Falls up toward the log jambs where it was a real hike through the dead falls to get back out to the road. If you ever had a Heart attack and fell down in that mouldy Alder forest, not even a Blood hound could find your Corpse.
Now that I'm retired I pretty much wish I was still in the PacNw for the Fishing. Not for anything else though.
I know its crowded, and the Woodenville area is so settled and all those farms are bought up and covered with Civilazation now. The whole area is covered up with Tree Huggers and Liberal Socialistic Democrats. I couldnt live there ever again.
It is depressing for an old guy who grew up hunting Deer and Bear out there. I'd probably Cry if I had to drive through all that again.
