  HOLY TOLEDO and I were watching the river predictions and decided to go for it as it may not be fishable in the near future. We launched at first light with a light rain which soon turned to full on rain and then a deluge by half way down.  About mid way through our eight hour drift I hooked up landed a nice a fish and suddenly I forgot all about the rain. Another beautiful adventure on our local river....

Now thats a fish! I was going to go then the boss said we have work. Then at 6:30 this am the power goes out at thew shop and we all go home for the day. Damn. The river color looks barely fishable but if anyone can pull one out of that its one of you two.Patrick, you and me in March buddy. Congrats Allen on a fine fish and thats a beautiful release shot. Whats that stuff on your chin. Old growth? :smt006 Brother and friend. I hope whoever reduced the steelhead points to 6 can see that this isnt some planter trout with no tail.

Nice fish Allen 8hrs in the pouring rain for 1 bite that's hardcore well earned  :smt007.
Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.
