We all know that catching Steelhead and Salmon is difficult. Further, fishing as a sport has been declining in numbers over tha past five years.

I feel a responsibility to share as much as I know (less and less the older I get), to help secure a future for our fisheries. Having people go away frustrated( ie not catching) is not good for the sport. I know I enjoy the outdoor experience now more than the catching, but it took me a bunch of years to get to that. I only wish I had had a mentor or two along the way.

Besides for me there is nothing better than seeing that certain smile from someone who has just caught his/her biggest/best/whatever fish and knowing that you maybe had a small hand in it.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for your posts!
