US North West fishing

These are some pictures from my visit to the North West - Seattle, where I had the pleasure of fishing with some very nice people in the early winter 1995.

As Juro described it:

The areas we fished:
1) Fort Casey, Admiralty Inlet on the West shore of Whidbey Island. This pass is known to be used by migrating steelhead and salmon on their way to their natal streams.
Unfortunately, the bus never came! ;)
2) Satsop River, a tributary of the Chehalis known for it's large native coho salmon and steelhead. Of course we wouldn't know about that ;)
