    Larry, Mark, John, Bill, STEELIES, Jason, Don & all else - thanks for the kind words guys. I'm glad you appreciated the report and pics. A winter trip there can be tough for hook ups but as you know that is only a part of the whole adventure. Using a quote from the steelheadbum site:

    "Unlike the summer, it’s not uncommon to walk into camp water and find yourself in complete solitude during the winter. More so, landing a North Umpqua winter steelhead is damn near a religious experience. If you are fortunate enough to bring one to hand, relish the moment, for they are truly amazing animals that are not an every day occurrence."

    It was one to remember, for sure.

    And it is a very special "fraternity"- of that, I am more than sure...
