Winter steelhead fishing, it's a strange game we play. Take a tough fish to catch and make it even tougher. When the odds are stacked against you, pushing it until that line tightens up. The rewards can be simply put...
John booked this day with me and brought along Chuck Volckhausen of wildwatersflyfishing.com John watched Chuck go 2 for 2, knowing John hadn't touched an Umpqua fish before...I was putting him in the buckets, " I just want it too bad" John says. " Naw, she's just making you work for it", I'm thinking, then John sticks this guy, not bad.
A healthy 38" buck to end my season.
Just a couple of reasons to chase winter steelhead.
Hope everyone had as good a season as I did, many thanks to all that fished with me, see you this summer!
