BIG WATER STEELHEAD

 

 

A long walk into the gorge

 

 

 

 

Many battles were won and lost

 

 

 

 

 

Silver Bullets

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chrome-magnum

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steelheaders Utopia

 

 

 

 

 

Many doubles

 

 

 

 

Bill and Dave

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sore Arms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SMALL WATER BROWNS & STEELHEAD

 

 

The battle and the prize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Golden shades of autumn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blinding

 

 

 

 

 

Brightly Hued

 

 

 

Gray Ghost

 

 

 

Days End

 

 

 

 

It's been a truly remarkable week and a half with more spectacular angling on the horizon.

Time at home has been limited....next time I'll actually write something.

 

 

Cheers, Mike

There were some good stories here that I neglected to elaborate on.

One in particular, I'd mentioned to Bill that small white jigs were the ticket.

Scrambling at the last minute he had nothing white to use for his homemade tie's.

That is until he spied his snow white cat.

Out came the scissors and he quickly whipped off a couple of jigs for the next day's outing.

He actually did catch a beauty brown on his creation which for obvious reasons he named the pussy jig.
