I ALSO HAVE BEEN ON THE TRIBS. AND LAKE SINCE 1974 WHEN IT WAS SAID THEY WILL NOT BITE.I WORKED THE TRIBS AT NITE WITH BATTERY PACKS AND CRICKETS WHEN THE NEWBIES HAD TO CARRY THE PACKS.BURLAP SACKS WERE TOTES IN THOSE DAYS.HOWEVER AFTER A COUPLE EXPERIENCES LIKE THAT I FOUND THE KINGS IN THAT ERA WOULD ATTACK CHARTRUESE CLEOS IN MIDAFTERNOON ON THE SALMON R.,MAKING BELIEVERS OUT OF MY BUDDIES.SINCE THEN I HAVE PURSUED CONVENTIONAL FISHING METHODS,NOT PROUD OF MY EARLY GREED FOR MAMMOTH KING HOOKUPS.I GUESS SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE WITNESSED THE SLOW EROSION OF THE FISHERY FROM ITS PEAK LATE 80'S AND HAVE DEVELOPED A SOUR TASTE FOR THE BS. ETC. WHICH EMMANATES FROM VARIOUS POSTS BY SOME ON VARIOUS SITES . HAVING INVESTED IN MUCH PROPERTY AND ALL IN THE AREA IT IRKS ME TO SEE THE CONTINUED DISTORTION OF TRUE FISHING METHODS OF WHICH I WAS INITIALLY GUILTY OF.MY APOLOGY IF I IMPLIED U ARE A ROPER,HOWEVER I FAIL TO GRASP HOW TRIBUTARY SALMON ARE ENTICED TO BITE AND I HAVE BEEN IN SOME OF THE NARROW TRIBS. UP THERE.I HAVE SEEN MANY FOUL HOOKED STEELIES DURING THE TAIL END OF THE SALMON RUN WHICH DISTRESSES ME.STEELHEAD FISHING IS AN ART AND AND REQUIRES DILLEGENCE AND METTLE IN A TRUE FISHERMAN.WISHING U THE BEST OF LUCK FOR THE REMAINING SEASON.HOPEFULLY WE SHALL HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF STEELIES!
