When I return from NC, I plan to get after them. I miss standing on the banks drift fishing, casting spinners and spoons for them.

[Caveman Jim]

Nice ride.

Nice fish and ride. I spent a few hours last Thursday on the bank. Only thing caught was a few hours of quiet enjoyment.

Back in the day one could not help but pull in at least a few each trip out...
Now we are lucky just to see a fish in a magazine or on a forum....

So did I Art, might have fished next to ya a time or two. Does McMillin, Alderton or below the Carbon ring any bells?

Ain't that the truth.... Remember if you work for a corporation, you are but a number that can be punched at any time....

My favorite stretch of the Puy. Can't forget the Carbon itself, used to be able to pull a few out of there every year.

True that on the Carbon. Years ago about a mile or two below the mouth was curve with lots of holes & gravel bars that held fish. Around the early 90's WDFW granted a gravel extraction to a big rock Corp (connected to a land development Corp) and they took out all the holes & gravel bars & made it like a canal, straight as the eye can see!!!

There are a places along that stretch are starting to come back into fish holding shape. A lot of good that it does as there are no steelies to use those spots.

That's great, all it takes is a few floods to wreck their handy work.

We had a ball today on a small Southwest Washington stream that just dropped into shape perfectly.
Not a guide but a friend who knows how to hunt steelhead.
