I stil remember my first steelhead like it was yesterday. This winter ive only had three hookups for all the time ive spent, and i wouldnt trade that time for anything. There is nothing better than that heart stopping, knee shaking first run of a steelie on a wild untammed river.

Your damn right its an addiction...
