I drive north today to a favorite spot hoping for a couple silvers and
maybe some dolly varden. The sun was out full, the air was cool, the
North Cascades were freshly snow capped, and I was fishing. How could
it get any better? In about 200 yards of the river I managed:
6 or 8 silvers, none fresh enough to keep, but hard fighters still.
3 whitefish snuck in for some exercise.
1 chum had to sample my single egg
3 dolly varden, the biggest 23 inches and fat
1 steelhead, my first of the winter run.

The steelhead was an odd fish. A hatchery male 19 inches long. He
fought hard, jumped about 6 times, and I released him as thanks for the
ride.

Anybody ever catch more than 4 anadromous species in one day? The
whitefish is a resident, he didn't count.
