Well i took Biffs advice and went to the chehalis (ps thanks for the input Biff).. well it was my first time fishing the system so i wasn't too familiar with specific spots. I started off by the bridge and slowly worked my way up fishing every pocket my buddy and I could find avoiding those that were already being worked on. Fished several different spots with some nice runs. Found some submerged boulders which had some depth,and they seemed to be a perfect spot for the steel to hold at. Threw light and dark pink worms (4" and 6") but no takers, some Jensen eggs and wool ties but nothing. We casted several times in the different runs but no hits or no fish to be seen. The water was very clear and the visibility was quite good (maybe too clear for my 15 main i think, I haven't changed it since salmon fishing ended so got to get a 12 lbs on the reel.) Anyways we went on a trek to find more spots and we worked the water we found for several hours, we were thinking to keep going to find more spots but the legs couldn't give'er anymore so we worked down the river in some of the previous spots we had fished. Once again nothing. Talked to several guys and it seemed to be a very slow day as none of the ppl i talked to reported any fish. In all and all it was a good day to be out as the weather cooperated and fished a new system which I'm sure ill return to.. Anyways still waiting for that first steelie I'm 0 for 2 but I'm sure its a matter of casts.. Nevertheless, I hope that those of you who went out today had more success than us....
