Guides over there are almost as bad. They take paying customers out and kill natives as well. Sorry, but some things need to be said and heard. Great job on your Kalama River Native. I love the Kalama. I've caught alot of Steelhead and Salmon from it over the years.

4/5/2009 11:41:00 PMNice first steelhead. Smashmouth quit cryin about natives net fishing. They were here on this continent before any other race. They earned their right to fish the way they want.

I have still only caught 1 steelhead so far and I'm looking forward to catching my second, Do you know how far it is from the lynnwood area?
