Benjo;
I spent 4 days in January on the Necanicum and hooked and caught all the steelhead I could handle. This was my first trip to this part of Oregon and was suppose to fish the Wilson and Trask but due to high water levels (over their banks) we concentrated on the smaller streams further North. Hooked 12 one day, landed and released 7 - no lie. I'm ready to go back tomorrow.

Lance, those hatchery fish are old and not worth catching anymore. The Necanicum hardly has any water in it and coming back tomorrow would not be a good idea.

Benjo;
I guess because this was my first time in the area I didn't know the difference. Some of the ones that got away were bright silver,fresh from the sea and full of fight. The ones I landed sure put up a fight. I would show you a couple if I could figure out how to post the pictures. Being stuck in Southern Calif., any fish this size to me is worth fishing for. Nothing like this down here. I suppose if I lived closer to this kind of action, I could be more selective, but to me, a fish is a fish. I just like to fly fish.
