Summer fishing
The fishing has slowed back down to something more like normal, which is nice. There are still plenty of steelhead around but a guy actually has to fish for them and may or may not catch one, trout are going good and the summer coho fishing seems a bit slow still, but could pick up any day. Its getting to be that time of year that I really love. All the rivers are getting low and quite, the big bugs will be moving in a week or two.
I will say that I have had tons of fun recently getting to watch chrome bright steelhead chase down and devour swung flies. We had a nice buck the other day do some kind of weird underwater back flip cartwheel thing trying to get a hold of a little weighted streamer. Its fun to watch them eat.

Are the big bugs you are referring to…. Kings? Wasn’t sure.
