First time Steelhead fishing

[cthewrld]

A buddy took me Steelhead fishing on Wednesday and I am happy to say that I have lost my steelhead virginity. I have spent years fishing on lakes and have never had the desire or taken the chance to do any river fishing. Needless to say, I had a great time. The weather was beautiful, the river was great and the fish were biting. It took a while to get the hang of drift fishing, but once I figured it out, I was hooked (pun intended). Here is one shot from the day.

Congrats! I'll always remember my first as well. I find walking the tribs and drifting very relaxing. The first fall/winter/early spring I did it, I actually lost 10 pounds over that time period, instead of gaining 10 like I did in the past!!

Nice job!

 

I just got some steelhead equipment and can't wait to try it out.
