I'm just a babe compared to you guys - 25th this year out of Healdsburg (on the once famous steelhead loaded Russian River zip)


I caught my first steelhead on the Russian 44 years ago.

According to Irie I haven't fished a day since. [/quote]

Born in WA; lived here my entire life. 40th reunion summer of 07. Caught my first steelhead in 70. Yeah, a late bloomer, but no body in my family fished, so I didn't even know they existed until then.
