Peter,

I'll keep working on my patience. Today I fished for five hours and nothing! babble
When I first hooked it, I thought...I must have caught a branch, no a rock, no it's headshaking -maybe a dolly, a whitefish, no to big for that...-0h I can see it now, must be an old salmon about to die....wait a minute it might be a steelhead! -It took me a while to believe. He was a fresh and bright metallic buck with a hue of pink at his gill cover -beautiful! He gave a good 15minute or so fight. I felt like I was battling a king salmon -he wanted to go deep. Richard a neighboring nearby season fly angler helped coach me in.. Anybody want to see a picture?
Good fishing to all, Darin
