Fished the Calawah on St. Patrick's Day with my wife on a guide trip. Put in at about 7:00 at the launch just east of Forks and headed downstream ahead of 2 other boats. Boated the first steelie about an hour later, a spawned female about 10lbs. Then my wife (we booked this trip for our 29th anniversary. Needless to say I married the right gal) hooked her first steelhead, a nice buck about 12lbs.
At the end of the day, we hooked 4 and landed 3. Had a lot of fun with Mike running the high water rapids. Not a single dent in his new Willie Boat! The weather was a combo of rain, sleet, hail, snow, and sun (repeat every 1/2 hr.)
We hoped to do a little plugging on the Bogachiel, but it was unfishable, except for the plunkers we passed.
