Not super impressive but probably the first salmon I have tagged in recent memory, 10 #. I got it off the bank of the main Santiam on September 29 with that pink Steelee. I'd never seen that color but I snagged several at a tackle shop in Ketchikan when I was on a cruise. There was a little sign on them that said " humpy killers ". I thought, coho killer.

If this is where I think it is, I've been down there a few times trying without any luck. Good job. Ive only ever fished there the few times recently so still trying to figure out where they are. Haven't even seen any jumping or rolling though..
 
I just look at the Willamette Falls counts and the Bennett Dam counts and try to guess when to go. I did go back and got skunked a week later but I think the word got out. There were ,all of a sudden , boats and bank fishermen all over.
 
Been a while since I've seen anyone use Steelies! But one can cover a lot of water with spoons, and drop into the pockets, and what not.

They don't sell that color here. Looked like it would be good for coho.

Could paint it I would surmise (might need to use lead free)
