2003, Green River, just down from Metzler Park on the right side of the split. 14# summer-run buck took a pink jig under a float.

I was by myself and can clearly remember the exact moment that fish hit the bank... I had fished hard all winter with nothing to show, so that first steelie was a real trophy to me. I think I feel more fondly toward that first steelhead than my first Muley buck... or even the first girl that let me have a go (without paying for it). ~josh
