OT..great post Captain...sounds like you know your stuff. My next boat will be a Grady 24' with twin Yamaha saltwater 200s or 150s. Good size that can still be towed with a Suburban. Love those Gradys. Yes Steelhead are serious fighters. I flyfish for them or if I'm lazy will go driftboating and use sandshrimp or salmon roe. Downriggers for Chinook/Coho/Halibut on the ocean.

Captain_Jack, <steelhead fishing> A friend of mine from Fiji used a unigue way to catch a steelhead here. She chased it up and down the river with a 2x4 for ten minutes until she finally clobbered it over the head. She then called ten people over for dinner. Fijians have lots of unusual ways to catch fish.

I have a way to catch fish without any gear at all. First you have to climb up 5000 feet of shear granite walls and canyons for two miles until you get to a couple of lakes that are near the second highest lake in the Americas. Then you lay down on the grassy bank of the stream connecting the two lakes, put your hand into the water, palm side up, and wait until a 12 inch Golden trout comes and nestels in the palm your hand. You then throw it out on the bank or into a frying pan. Goldens taste like Salmon. Oh, that's right, you don't care for either. <GGG> I share your taste for walleye though but can't get it out here.
