Hey yawl,
Figured introduction was overdue... reached the ripe age of 50 recently and have been getting back into fly fishing over the past year.
Last December I had a religious experience with steelhead on the west side of Vancouver Island (near Port Renfrew)... after a hellacious fall-on-my-face hike into the bowels of a pristine canyon I caught six SH between 25 and 35 inches. One of the best days of my life, you shoulda been there, etc... way to bust my steelhead cherry! I was using my 8wt sink tip with streamers, and also tried my Canadian (eh!) buddy's centerpin rod with a sacrilegious pink worm. That centerpin gear is deadly to the point of cheating (but it's not a fly rod).
25 inches!
About 33 inches!
Do you see the fish?
Cheers!
