The beginning of this month marked my 20th aniversarry...Of my first Winter Steelhead catch. My first ever Salmon or Steelhead actually. And the funny thing was, I took one handoff from my dad, and whacked the first one, but I actually made the cast, that landed me my first, no more than a half hour after takin the handoff. Very cool, keep him interested if he seems to take a liking, and continues to enjoy it. And yeah, stickin fingers in gills is kind of like stickin a couple fingers in our noses, and a couple more in our mouth, but if it was released, I'm sure it went no worse for the wear. It looked very fresh, and if it was still consious, probably full of piss, and vinegar. I don't know the regs. down there, I don't know if there is a fin fish retention deal. Pretty sure fins get the kick back tho... Either way, your son can only go farhter into the game from here! Congrats to your son man.

thanx montanamooseHey specialk, I waited a while so you'd get some
replies and you've got some good advice...if you
just want to noodle around without having to have
a pickup vehicle, you could go to River Forks Park
and you'd be in position to fish the mouth of the
North Fork, the mouth of the South Fork and also
the beginning of the main stem Umpqua and you'd
be able to launch easily at the boat ramp, row around and fish.
Steel head are moving through still I believe. Hope this helps !
Cheers,
