What sun?

I was just flipping thru old photos, from last year so not that old, and came across this.  Can't wait till these crazy storms pass and that yellow ball hangs bright in the horizen again.  Calm seas, warm breeze, and hungry fish.  Getting all geared up to start hitting the winter chrome again.  Maybe they will be kind enough to take a hook for me and get first page news on this post.  We'll see!!!

A new season

So I officially kicked of a new season, that of the winter steelhead.  Started out slow this year for me.  Spent the day on a local 'creek' and was finally able to hook up with a very nice sized steel.  He took me for a quick ride, before mercilessly breaking my leader with a loud 'POP'!  That kindof pull reinforces why I search so diligently for these king of river fish.  I have a few guided days set aside this month so hopefully the mighty steelhead won't be so elusive for me.  Here's to a stellar year in the quest for fish.
