Mother Jan's B-day and the Klickitat Opener

Great fishing, tough catching. We heard of a couple fish  caught over the weekend but our crew did not land any Steelhead. We did however have one big yank. Fish counts over Bonneville have been less than average but have recently bumped up over the past 24 hours. Regardless it was a GREAT weekend.
Techniques fished    Floaters to T-14 and Skaters to 6 inches of Pink -  Really?

The most important part of this weekend was celebrating Jan Cottrell's B-day!  The party migrated back and forth between  The Steelhead Underground in Klickitat and  The Steelhead Ranch on the breaks of the river.  An impressive amount of people showed up to give mother Jan a hug!  This organic party just keeps growing year to year.  It was a 'flat out' awesome gathering.
