A glimmer of hope-
My pursuit of the fish of the North Coast has led me to figuring out a way to get up there sometime during the winter run for many seasons now. Having been employed and thankful for that, my opportunities have been limited... I have randomly guessed when the conditions might be right four months in advance since that is when I choose my weeks off- I post this because my dream finally came true- checking weather conditions a few days before the week I chose, I was astonished to discover conditions would be favorable- my loyal friend Carlo Proto agreed and we embarked upon the 300 mile trip...
I was not only lucky enough to catch a wild Eel River steelhead but fortunate beyond all belief to hook and land a second one the next day! After much dedication to learn and fastidiously pursue a dream, I was rewarded and I am thankful beyond what mere words can convey. Thank you to all the Kiene's staff and bulletin board members- the dream lives...
