He Tried, But Didn't Make It-- To get a way, that is. That is what Fred Koch, Jr., of 1745 Progress avenue said about this 23 pound steelhead he caught Saturday on the Nestucca river out of 101 camp. Koch compares the near-record fish to the size of his eight-year-old son, Malcolm. Koch said that while he was catching the fish, Don Fink expertly guided the boat while Nolan Sweeney lended encouragement to the whole affair.
