My report is for Sat. I started out at 116th st. at 0645 and walked up and crossed i was using peach glow drift bobber with half of a night crawler. After about 15 min. caught another bow about 16 in. It didn't really fight though. It came off right at shore and i could barely grab it to take a look at it. It was nice and fat but the lower gill plate was a ltttle deformed but her back and she swam off. I moved down to where the creek comes out and caught anther lottle bow about 8 in. Then i had to leave at 0800.

I had to help my bro move, but that was only till 1300. I headed down river to Mama stortinis and walked up rirver and swung flies all the way down past the treatment plant with zero action.

With just enough time left, I went back up river to 128th st bridge and fished down river with driftbobber and worm again until dark, but no action there either.

I only saw two people on lower river all day and the river was pefect except for no fish. The rainbows I have been catchin that are over 14 are legal to keep, but I let them go just in case they are trying to grow up to 30lb natives. Even with worms and #4 hooks they all have been lip hooked. I am hopin for a dolly or another steelhead to pick them up, I guess that is wishful thinking. I have been fishin the river hard for 4 years now and have only seen 5 steelies. Anyway, good luck to every one!
