Back in 2008 and 2009 Washington state had a steelhead run that doubled any run I had seen since 1985. That went into my memory as the best of the best. In 1985 I landed well over 300 steelhead myself as an individual angler. In 2009 I was amazed at what we seen for fall steelhead runs, I had never seen so many since ’85 and now I was fishing every day, with two anglers fly fishing, the numbers were astounding. Ever since that season I thought I would never see ’09 numbers again. Well its starting to happen again, this year with Salmon, Chinook Salmon to be exact. The predictions will actually be right, I am always skeptical until I see it. “I seen it last week!”

 Swing flies for Chinook: Most of all “LARGE” and with a combination of flash, pink, chartreuse, blue, black or purple….and Hold on as when they eat it you know it!

I posted these elsewhere recently but will show them again:
