I forgot what I was supposed to remember.

I can't help myself. I have to add something to this. You said"When they are in the rivers do you folks catch them on drys or wet flies". Well I'll have to say that we try to catch them on drys and I/we've that have fished for them use mostly Royal Wulff's(dry) and or yellow spiders(wet).There's something about yellow that they(fish)like.

And as for keeping fish caught. I would only keep a steelhead if one was caught by me but only if it was a hatchery. I notice that a few of you like to keep EB,well that is fine by me. The state F&G says you can keep them. But they only seem to be in the upper reaches of streams. I'll shut up know as you all don't want to listen to all my babbling.

Well Lake Cavanaugh up in Skagit Co. Used to have a store on the East end and it used to have lots of pictures of all the Cutthroat that have been caught out of that lake. Store is gone now. They could be a strain of the coastal cutts as the lake empties into a stream that empties into Pilchuck Creek Which empties in to the Stilly. I understand that there are a good many cutts in that lake that are quite large.

Was fishing that lake one time and the game dept planted some salmon in it. Two years later they were catching salmon in the Creek,but don't know if the plant ever took hold.
