Skysteelhead: Obviously you don't know me well, cuz' if ya did, you'd know I'm not an amazing dude, I'm just a dumb ass dork who loves to fish, amongst a few other things.

Salmo: I've fished with crutches plenty of times, the real crutches. I own about 7 fly rods I'll have you know. I caught my first western Washington steelhead fly fishing a small Snohomish county river. It was pure luck. I quickly realized that to be a good steelhead fly fisherman, you just have to cast beautifully, and go fishing, a few hook-ups a year is good. I like fly fishing. I like it a lot, especially for tiny beautiful trout in small mountain streams. But back to them steelhead. I like to catch them too much and see them in my hands, so, I'll continue to use the crutch that is gear, even PLUGS! And if ya want, you'd be very welcomed to come use a crutch on a river with me. I PROMISE to post no pics of you on the internet CATCHING steelhead on gear.

Tomorrow, Ripples is gonna get some shrimpies with Tom and I in his sweet new boat , and most likely some other sea creatures. We'll make sure to post pics of crutch caught sea creatures for ya.

P.S. I watched my dad build his house for years, and miss so much fishing, when others were catching, he was working on the house. I am not a fan of that philosophy. Go fishing, it's good for ya.
