TR Five species in 5 hours

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.

Nice TR, thanks.

I've never fished for anadromous species unless you count Lake
Michigan steelhead (isn't there a -dromous word that describes
fresh water lake to fresh water stream ?), but I've caught browns,
rainbows, brookies and cutthroat all in one afternoon and all on
the same stream. In Yellowstone, just below Gardiner off the
incinerator road. (Unless you're a know-it-all from North Carolina
in which case the incinerator road is located *above* Gardiner. ;-)

Ken isn't there a -dromous word that describes fresh water lake to
Ken fresh water stream?

Maybe 'lacustrine' or 'adfluvial'?

Temporary brain fart, sorry. The word I couldn't come up
with is potadromous.

Not anadromous fish, but two years ago I caught brown, brook, and rainbow
trout, landlock salmon, and fallfish from the same stream, the same day. The
day before I had caught a small (18") lake trout from the same stream.
