I may fish once or twice in the summer, have resolved to give up salmpon altogether and fish winter steelhead almost evry weekend starting this coming Saturday. I have to wait until duck season is over. It works out pretty well, December and the first two weeks of January seem pretty crowded. As the weather sours the boats thin out.

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
