I'm curious to know if there were many folks fishing the PW, here in the USA before I started preaching their benefits. I first fished the PW in B.C. in 1983. I caught my first PW steelhead here, on the Tolt in 1985. I wrote my first article on the PW in 1989.I subsequently have written more than a dozen articles on the virtues of the PW. Funy thing is I have never caught a steelhead on one while drift fishing. of course I seldom drift fish. I just like those training wheels too much.

Were any of you using it, but not talking about it before 1985?
