Buck I believe you, but to even be able to imagine that? Wow, I don't really think I can. I almost pee myself when I catch 1 fish a day...20 fish and I'd have no need for a woman laugh

What a sight it would be to see fishing like that.

NW,

You reminded me of one year on our upper river plot (which happened to be a stellar coho year). The tree across from us looked like a red-neck christmas tree with just about every kind of gear you can imagine hanging off of it. Yarn/corkies, blue fox spinners, spoons, rooster tails, even a brad's wart. Cool part about it was when summer came and the river receded it WAS like christmas for this fisherman  Wink

Probably saved myself fifty bucks in gear that year!

yes fin it was hard to imagine ,, he wasnt even floating the river , just rowing out and fishing the same slot every day.. he was one of the best fisherman i have ever meet, his wood drift boat was bought in oregon and was one of the first in wa... he also held the st. record steelhead for years a 31lb. caught bank fishing the queets, and on the same day landed 2 more over 20....
