Well me and a friend went up to the chehalis on sunday, and fished for a few hours. The water was super low and super clear. We fished up river in a few of the canyon pools. On my second cast of the morning a fish came outta nowhere and nailed my float, I thought for sure it was a steelie, then I seen the beat up old coho come back and chase my roe. It followed it right up to shore and picked it off the bottom. After a short fight the half dead coho was released. We worked down the pool to the spot that I knew held fish. Since my friend was the steelhead virgin I let him have first crack at it. He drifted his worm through several times with no results. I went next and drifted a hefty sized piece of roe through. Second cast into the hole, and my float goes down slowly in the shallower water. Bottom I thought, so I gave it a ligentle tug to try to set it free, and then I realize it's actually a fish. I knew it wasn't hooked well, so tried to play it carefully. A few pulls and a couple af big silver flashes later my setup comes flying back at me. :evil: So we walk back up the shore and give the water a 10 min break. I let my friend have first go at it again, and second cast his float takes a dive, good hook set and the fight is on! He fought it for a few minutes, and had it tired out and almost at the shore, when it did one more head shake, and pop.... out comes the hook. He was just happy having hooked into his first steelhead. We got a good look at the fish, and it was wild and about 12 lbs. We gave the water another break and fished the whole pool again with no success. We hiked into 2 other nice looking pools, but did not get any more fish. It was a fun day anyways, and it's always exciting to see someone hook into their first steelhead.
