Hit the Green today hunting for summer steel with no luck. Started out just above the log jam and nothing happening there. Just managed to lose my favorite rvrfshr 50/50 hammered spoon. After that headed way east up to Kanaskat-Palmer and fished every hole there with no luck just a few tiny smolts hooked. Not even sure if there are summer steel up here that far anymore with Palmer ponds closed. After that i made the trek down to Icy Creek and again no luck just a few smolts hooked. On my way out got the crap scared out of me by a rottweiler who belonged to somebody caring for the fish at the pens. The dog came charging after me as i was half way up the hill. I drifted yarn balls, dick-nites, pink worm, and tossed a spinner during the course of the days fishing.
Anybody know if there are steelhead still up at Palmer? I know the pens closed in summer 2009 so i am wondering if they released one last batch of smolts that would be returning this year. The 2009 smolt plant report shows 30,000+ released at Soos and 77,000+ released at Mainstem (i not sure what Mainstem means).
