As many of you know, my father tragically passed away in a vehicle accident in Feb of 07. Tough stuff.... My mom remarried back in Nov. of this past year and I must say, while Bob will never take the place of my father, he is one heck of a dude and it was a real honor to share the water with him this morning. An avid outdoorsmen, Bob has yet to catch a steelhead and has been buggin' me for the past few months to get that "monkey off his back". After a tough day on the Nooch last Feb. with no dice, today was the day..... On the water early and out early. Bob fought the fish like a champ. What a feeling getting someone their first steelhead when they've been trying for years with no success. Not only did Bob hook one, he landed a second hot summer that I was sure was a gonner after 5 cartwheeling leaps and shakes and a massive run down the riffles below.... Today was our day! Here's to you, Bob..... Thanks for the great morning!

Very nice story! It's a lot of pressure putting a newbie into fish but when you do it is the best feeling in steelheading!

~Mike~ There are a few kinds of steelhead fishing; fly, float, drift, spoon, spinner, plugs, boondoggin, bobberdoggin,.... and then there is float fishing in 18\" of water. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!  |

Nice fish! Is it just me or does the reflection of the water make it look like the tails are missing.  |

justin -- you ought to get one of these:  20 bucks as sportco, and you can stick it under the seat in your truck. it'll hold 2 limits of 10lb steelhead no problem. |
