Hired a guide last weekend, and finally got into some steel. Went 2 for 3, and had a blast.

HA! i was hooked long ago! At age 4, if i recall correctly, with my first trout hooked me on a path to many many wasted days in summer and fly tieing in winter. Steelheading seems to fill a void in the seasons that cant be filled by residential browns or by bass. now my wife will never see me...

thanks Trini.

Hey Schnip, rod was a 7 wt, 10ft. fly was not a standard pattern, but was a small (maybe size 10) bead head nymph with a copper rib.
