I stopped once on a trip to Vancouver, near Hope (Othello Tunnel area), and skip-hopped out across some large boulders to a nice flat one in the middle of the river. I was tired, and sat there for a while, until I noticed some large shadows in the water across the way. I scooped up some pebbles, and tossed them one-by-one, and almost every one got a nice big steelhead to hit it. There were several of them there, and you could see them playing catch with me just below the surface. So, next time you're fishing trout, try pebbles.
(As a side note, do not jump DOWN from boulder to boulder across a fast-running mountain stream... jumping back UP is much harder, wetter, and colder.)
