To be told you likely will see no fish in the creek, or note that there will be No fish in the grass-filled creel .

That said, it’s still pretty kool Someone like SF, or Salmo g. would take time to help anyone here with giving fly angling for huge Rainbow a try.

I bet that essay is a sweet read...



I caught my last steelhead in 2014 and haven’t fished for them since.
So Sg will be the go to guy on the steelhead fly fishing front.

I’ve moved on to other fisheries. Though not nearly as exciting as hooking a nice steelhead, fishing a beach with nobody else around has its rewards.
