Up early to go wade fishing. Caught & released this 23" wild steelhead on my bead head nymph.

Then caught & released this prime 27" wild fish again on my bead head nymph.

Very nice Gordon! By the way, is that a Scientific Anglers 8 wt. you've been using since you broke your other rod? How do you like it?

Hairstacker: Yes that is a Scientific Anglers 8 wt and so far so good. Miss the ergonomic grip on the Kilwell. Rogue out for 4-5 days as it is now 4,000 cfs and dirty. We have had about 3.75 inches of rain so far in November.

I can't think of a better endorsement for a freshwater rod than to find one in your hands. . . . 8)
