How can I be a social media all-star if I can only post a picture of myself with only ONE steelhead per day?

People don’t have the self control for that. Also, if you drive across the state to fish a spot and get into a fish the first five minutes then you are done for the day? Seems arbitrary to me. Some rivers can sustain a bit more pressure. It’s good to recognize your own limits. For me, hooking a couple of fish is good enough in most instances. Sometimes just one is enough. I have no need to rack up substantial numbers to brag about online or to others. If hooking a few fish isn’t fulfilling for you and you have a need to catch as many wild steelhead as you possibly can, then you are a part of the problem.
