Met up with a buddy after work, loving the close silver fishing.  Set down and started setting lines at 4:45, pulled at 8:30.  50-63 FOW.  13lb Steelhead hit on NBK on a 7 color, chrome/green glow bloody nose on rigger at 42 took the other steelhead.   Healthy coho grabbed 0 firedot and green fly on 9 color, 00 firedot and purple fly at 29 on DR, wire diver with chrome dragon slayer with white/black/green fly back 75 and 88, other wire diver with white dragon slayer with purple fly back 105, and 0 wonderbread dodger with a firecracker fly down 25 on DR rounded thr night out.  Lost track of fish lost and drive by's. Had one steelhead that wanted my spoon more than me and broke the line coming out of the water.  Flies got bad, but mosquitos at the fish cleaning station after dark were unbearable.  Never found cold water, never marked bait, marked quite a few fish suspended right around 35-45 feet though, and thats where most of our fish hit.  Was a great evening on the water, even if we stayed out too late.

Heck of a night sounds like, and what a beauty of a Steely!

Thanks for the report.
