Two fish stand out - First one was my first time fly fishing for SR's. Was with Dennis Dickson and we finished the day at the Picnic Hole on the NF Stilly. I was fishing a straight downstream presentation over about 20 holed up fish. I hooked a few and then I hooked one that took one, two, three jumps straight at me!! The third jump I was looking up at the white belly of about a 7lb steelhead. He jumped clear over me, threw the hook, 'bout gave me a heart attack but ended my first day fly fishing with a smile on my face. The second fish was a 40lb king up in the Straits that took a 75 yard run on top of the water with spray coming off his back like he was a torpedo.

Both fish gave me great memories to think about on those days when I wear the skunk.
