I fished the Narrows this morning. The gate opened at 7:30, as
usual, so I was a bit late into the tide. I did manage to land a nice
3-4lb. wild coho. It was a bit of overkill on the rod I was testing. I
was fishing a Sage 8126 European two-hander with a Rio Outbound line.
I'd guess that I hooked the fish about 80 feet out on my popper.
Steelhead? Everyone I know has either landed a fish, jumped a
fish or had a pull.

Haven't heard a report in a while and I haven't been out in Puget Sound for a few weeks either but was thinking of hitting something tomorrow morning to fish the good ebb. Any local steelhead to report for that matter? I've only been out one day and decided to wait for the river to get in better shape before venturing out again and it looks like it may be in good shape now.
Fished the S.Fork of the Snoqualmie a few days ago in the mid-afternoon and did very well with a #16 Royal Stimulator and my little 6' 3-weight bamboo rod. Got tons of small cutts and rainbows but this year got a lot of fish around 9-10" which is BIG for that little river. Usually I'll get 1 fish every trip of that size but this time out I got about a half dozen that size. Anyone else notice slightly bigger fish this year in the South or Middle Forks?
