That shot is my first fly caught steelhead, August 1976. The picture can be dated by the waders I am wearing.

Ballenger is basically right across I-5 from me. Its a bit urban for my tastes. Does it acutally fish well in the winter? And does it have a boat ramp?

I am thinking of something more rural.
