In the last two days I have bumped into seven herds of elk and only one branched bull, and four spikes. they should be getin close to droping some bone. What do you think next mounth? Sure got fired up hearing the cows and calfs sliping through the rain forest mewing. The smell almost made me forget that I was actually swinging the spey rod on a pristine Olympic Peninsula stream in search of the mighty winter run native steelhead. In addition to the elk I saw two racoons a family of river otter one cotton tail rabbit and one ruffled grouse. Several Bald Eagle and hawk, water ozzle and king fisher. The fishing could have been better, only one steelhead hooked up. What an awsome outing.
