Well havent done a report in a while so I figured I would do an update on fishing since I got the new Driftboat. This report is actually for 2 days on the Sol Duc, and I also spend 3 Days on the Wynoochee.

Sol Duc:

NO I DID NOT KEEP A WILD FISH. Hopefully this is good news to those of you who are just as disgusted with all the Wild Steelhead being killed recently as I am. Theres PLENTY of hatchery fish people, why kill a wild fish JUST because its legal? Who knows, I dont understand it, but it makes me SICK. Annnyway...

We hit 11 fish on the Duc in 2 days, landed 7, all beautiful wild fish, some bucks have some color now, but pulled some nice bright hens in the mix. Mostly jigs, and some yarnballs. The overall report has been good, but not on fire, if you want to catch these fish you are going to have to work HARD and put in the hours and cover a lot of water to find them! 

Wynoochee:

Also very effective last week, we fished 3 days, and had 18 steelhead. There are quite a few downriver spawner hatchery fish in the river right now, still fun to fight however. There are also a few nice wild fish, but you really gotta work for them. The nooch closes in a few days and its definitely winding down there for the year, and the sleds are out this time of year making it more difficult for drift boats... We used mostly eggs bobber dogging here.

So we hooked 29 steelhead last week, not bad for coming close to the end of the season! Good luck out there all, ill be glad when its over honestly, as i cant bear to see everyone killing these wild fish. Tight lines!
