Well, I guess I could say now that my patience percervered finally! I caught my very first steelhead today(guessed to be 12 lbs from a nearby sesoned fly angler and wild fish -carefully released ) and what suprised me was I actually caught it on a fly! smile I was about to throw in the towel on fly fishing for steelhead. Many people have told me I was wasting my time.... I was beginning to beleive them...I guess I can say it works now. what
I think I might be hooked! Never give up!!! The main reason I caught this fish on my fly rod is it's the only steelhead gear$ set-up I have! <img border="0" alt="[Goldfish]" title="" src="graemlins/goldfish.gif" />
