    Thumbs up Finally! First two steelhead on the spey

    Well, after 3ish years it finally came together! On a trip to visit the school I'll spend the next 4 years of my life at, I spent a few days with the spey rod on a few different steelhead rivers, and finally landed my first 2 fish on the swing!

    Needless to say it solidified my college choice!

    and by the way....that Hardy was LOUDDD!

    If you don't have some unique college years experiences burned into your memory for far longer than your first couple of steelies on the swung fly (as cool as that is), let me tell you that you are doing/did college wrong..
