I thought I saw a bunch of extra spots when the fish rolled ... and upon netting I finally realized it was true. October 25 ... and our first winter steelhead of the year! A pretty wild hen ... hope / plan on seeing lots more of them in the very near future!!

Heard an unconfirmed rumor that one was caught in the Dungeness shortly after it opened this month.

Hmmm ... might be the world's most awesome float angler that also happened to cracker off his first 3-4 takes on the float  I'm sure that was the guide's fault though!  Might not want to take credit with that part to go along with it  But I guess the freebie fish makes up for the others!

So Bob, what awesome anger caught that early winter steelhead? I heard the guy is a moderately proficient writer. Thank God for editors and spell check.
