...got my first steelie on a spoon the other day, a bright 10 lb hatchery hen that slammed a #3 gold Mortac Stilly spoon. An awesome fight! Couldn't help but notice the similarities with fly fishing--low and slow, a smooth swing, and an unnatural throb on the end of the line...

...the next day I went to the Nooksack and lost a 12-14 lb fish on a silver #3 Mortac. Woe is me!

I'll never be without 'em...
