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:)yobates said:I fished once with pumpy and lived the Hemingway lifestyle about 20 years ago. It was nothing special

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. -
Agree, the guy that can match technique and presentation to water conditions will always succeed.

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.dflea said:I'm not a fan of pulling plugs unless I'm up front and some other poor sap is rowing.

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.chuck said:Pumpy don't know shit about real steelheading.

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
