Continuing to fight the good fight, the side of wild steelhead gets another arrow in the quiver.  From one hatchery steelheader to you guys out west.  See you soon to catch one that actually made saltwater…and maybe Japan.

Day After

Dear Spey Nation,

We’re a strange bunch, us fishermen.  It truly takes all kinds.  Some find our Zen in the mesmerizing arc of a fluorescent rope across a slick tail out, the tantalizing pulse of fox, and marabou hopping across the sand or the tranquil float of hackle and dubbing as it falls victim to an unseen force […]
