Don Powell and Carlo Proto fished the mighty Eel River.......

......and had some luck on their Spey rods.

They put there time in for years and they deserve that success.

It is all about going and timing.

**I have to thank about a dozen of my old mentors who took me with them to the great Steelhead rivers many years ago.

Nice buck. Love to see that adipose. I've had success in years passed, haven't fished it for quite a few years now but miss going there... timing is omni-important and it's a long drive but those fish are fresh, thick and have the nastiest attitude.
