o.k. let's set the record straight. if ol' elkaholic showed up at 7:30, i'll lick my bait box..more like 7:50 wink and while it's painfully true, i've not popped the proverbial metalhead cherry, i've only pursued steelhead a handful of times. though i must admit that was a very pretty brat, and everyone on the bank was eyeballing pretty hard as we were walking back to the trucks laugh thanks for the encouragement, mike. i plan on hitting the rivers pretty hard this winter (wife willing) and some day soon i hope to have my very own avatar!

cheers,
willy
