Awww shucks ..thanks Wayne! Welcome to the board Alex!! Bly

Thank you all!! Thanks CC! To hook and fight a 15 would be a huge thrill even if I lost it lol I do feel a little taller today LOL Haha! We do not have a problem, we go out, we fish, we catch fish, Nooo problem!! Bly

Thank you everyone Having a great birthday! Caught a steelie yesterday wearing my new birthday waders Ccmt took the day off, my oldest (Amanda) was very pleasant this morning and took care of the dog so I could sleep in and Sydney did her part by sleeping in also! Got it yesterday!! LOL bly

Well, I had a few hours today while the little one was at school, so I threw my fishing gear in the car and headed to the local tackle store. The weather held off, so maybe I could get a few hours in fishing! While I was in the tackle store a gentleman and I were talking about the local steelhead spots. He started explaining them to me and I jokingly said "If you're heading there now, maybe I'll follow you in my car"...haha. He said "Why not? I'll take you there and show you some of my favourite pools". I followed him in the car and we headed out to the trib. He stayed about 20 minutes or so and showed me the spots before he left. After a nice thank you, I headed back out to try out my luck with ccmt's noodle rod, fresh roe and net. I went to the first hole he pointed out and had 2 hits within the first 15 to 20 minutes!! The steelie apparently moved on from that spot, so I moved to a different location after scouting the current, water levels, clarity etc.... I found myself at a spot he didn't point out, but it looked promising to me. Two drifts into this spot and my float went under!! I saw the fish, but he dove and spit the hook!! A few more drifts, the float goes down and the same thing happened. At least he hadn't moved on yet. I changed up my roe bag to a different colour and continued drifting in that general area. Finally...the float went down yet again and this time I didn't miss it! FISH ON! After a nice little battle, I landed this nice 22" steelie! Here's my pic...I suppose officially I went 1 for 3 on the day...my best day on the tribs yet. This was a special day for me....a real confidence booster for me because I wasn't sure that I'd be able to land one without help. Sorry team 9, my other fish beat this one, so no tourney entry.

Anyone care to chat and waste a little time?? Alex, if you read this....you better join! lol bly
