If you're looking for some fish to take your mind off of the pitiful state of the Puget Sound Steelhead for an afternoon, might we suggest the Upper Yakima? In a 6 cast stretch on one hole Ted landed a 14+ inch native cuttie, 2 other fish of the same size cruised by, and I landed this 24+ rainbow. There's plenty of bugs coming off, and when the water ticks up a few degrees it's going to be game on. And while these fish definitely won't make you forget about the early closing of the Puget Sound Steelhead rivers again, this one proved that a rod bending and reel peeling fight doesn't have to wait till fall.
