I fished once with pumpy and lived the Hemingway lifestyle about 20 years ago. It was nothing special
WTF BATES? Low clear days arent always productive...but a warm sunny-day drift on the sky has other values (beats the shit out of a smoggy traffic clogged day in kirkland dingus:)
Pumpy don't know shit about real steelheading. Sitting on anchor with a wall of plugs in the face of every fish that pulls into a hole does not a master steelhead make. You can't take a boat where I fish pumpster its all shorts, wading boots and a dry backpack for body surfing class III and IV rapids to get around cliffs. Your plugs and sockeye eggs won't do anything but scare fish and feed juvenile steelhead and the odd 14" bow. 350 wild steelhead released give or take a few and about 50 brats taken home since 2011 pump.
And yes, pumpy, most of them on bobbers. Don't knock it just because you suck at it. Tell me there's a better way to finnesse spooky fish out of a mountain canyon stream with less than 100cfs of gin clear water on a 90* day and show your ignance.
Haha that was fun. Just messing with ya pumpster. I love talking steelhead. To each their own and every situation calls for different tactics and skills. I love me some plug pulling. I just like what I do and where I go better.
I'm not a fan of pulling plugs unless I'm up front and some other poor sap is rowing. I do like the way fish smash a plug, so I'll gladly sit there and let someone else do all the work.
When I fish a float it's because I'm a lazy fucker and I don't want to tie leaders all day. I also use a float on a couple rivers I fish that are hideously snaggy.
Yellow Snow needs to grab his gear and head east and fish the Kilckitat or Methow in the late summer, early fall. People there have some fucking manners and don't low-hole you like the fuckheads on the west side do. Warm weather, hot summer steelhead and a boat isn't necessary. The Klick has a couple great camping areas right on the river, too.

Yeah I know. Cool story, bro.
Before too long I'll start the which HH member wants to take Yellar Snow steelheading thread. I'll pay in scotch/bourbon or shitty 35 yard nose bleed seats. Maybe even a hand job or two if there's no takers initially.

chuckfuck, puppy NEVER on anchor pulling plus. Pup busting ass working boat up, down, sideways river in sketchy spots for 6 hours , working plugs up, down, sideways around, on top of, underneath, every fucking rock, log, widowmaker, hole, flat, head, tailout until i find a 20# wild ironhead in a bad mood. Get head out ass. Driftboat captains work harder than any fisherman on the planet.
Its why pup gets steelhead for everyone in boat as opposed to other fags on bank or driftboaters not privileged to fish my water. Theyre down river with the other 50 fishless boats and wet cold bank fags who just wasted a full day. I use floats and eggs for girls who cant cast sometimes. They might not reel in a steelhead, but pup reels in a tuna later!!
Btw Chucky, when pup aint in a boat, he was beating banks with his spey-rod...alone with not a cracker for miles.. all good chuck, no offense taken

Funny story Chuck. Pup fished routine class 3 in high water, even a sections of class 4 on Sky and coast. Only crazy joe and i do class 3 on sky in drift boat on upper river. .One kayaker on Sky floated up to me in his 30lb kayak with his helmet and REI gear from head-to-toe, cum-plug firmly in nose and after watching me come through a nasty high class-3, in a 500lb 18' driftboat and hickory shirt , spilled becks in my beer holder. Little weekend warrior fuck says....'you know state law says you need to wear a helmet and vest, and you should be in that water with that boat'... (driftboaters wear neither, well sometimes they sit on float cusions for you fucking whistle-blowing Cuntyakers)
I grabbed my spare oar and told him to get his faggy ass off my river before i drown his cunt as i slapped the water in his chops. He says 'im gonna call cops on you...' i laughed, cracked another becks and ran out the herringbone tads for another pass.
Whats up with you kayakers? I blasted a Merganser with my .22 in my backyard hole off my deck . Fucking worthless duck was fishing illegally for steelhead hatchery plants out of season. I went down to big city to party with mi amigo's that night and stayed down there. (At tucks steel2) My mom called and said a gamewarden was at my door with a dead duck. I had to leave Seattle and drive an hour and change to confront gamey.
A fucking limp wristed metro bird-loving faggot Kayaker came around corner and took bird to fish-and-game unbeknownst to me. Well i flapped with gamey, who was a steelheader and knew why i did it and actually laughed. I gave him a $150 fine and that was that. But these kayakers? Why are they all such pussies? Im still looking for this chump. Someday...

Only thing I learned from this is that Maltby is an hour and change away from Seattle.
