On Friday Jim Christensen took out his Sage TCX #5 line Switch rod to test a new 390 grain Airflo "Rage" head with a 10' medium sink-rate Poly leader and small Green Butt Skunk .
Then "Rage" head is right between a Skagit and a Scandi head, being one of the most pracical new lines for two-handed fly rods.
That is a new large arbor Hardy UltraLite fly reel too.
Jim has fished the river for Steelhead for decades now so he knows the it well.
He caught what we think is one of the first springrun Steelhead this year. They are usually in the river March/April/May.
These fish will run 14 inches to 6 pounds.
Andy Guibord has a special love for these springrun beauties.
Local drift boat guide Kieth Kaneko know all about them too.
Jim says as it warm sup the caddis will really get hatching, especially if the water stays low like it is.
