Lookinforwalleye - wow! A memorable first outing for sure!!! I was steelheading alone once...was making my way through some frog water when I hit a bunch of logs and branches in the water. I was trying to get around the obstacle...one foot forward...test the water. I was in maybe 2 feet of water...took a test step...felt good and the branch breaks...water up and over my chest waders! Lol. Glad to hear you still had a great time out there!!! Will be even better when you hook your first...you will be hooked on it for sure!
Twocoda - that was hilarious!!! A little scary at the time I'm sure, but glad to hear you were netted before going over the falls!
