Its been a long time coming!! This is Steelheading!!


Sometimes a situation reminds you of what it means to be "Sick" with a passion for fishing. As Steelhead numbers dwindle and dwindle in the PNW, the struggle to hook and land fish on the fly has required more and more effort. More days standing in freezing cold rain, more hours fishing through that run "one more time". You're fishing the right water, you're confident in your flies, you're reading the books, saying your prayers and eating your vitamins! There are grown men who have gone there whole lives and never felt the Chrome tug on their line! But they keep going out there for the day they do. My boy Buddha recently had his day! After years of chasing and chasing and chasing! Buddha has reached the top of the mountain! CONGRATS BRO! Well deserved!!

Which rewards you more? To fill a cooler or fill your heart? Marinate!
