Feel the Steel

[John H]

Since the big rain three weeks ago the stripers in the Delta have been giving me the cold shoulder. I don't know if it has been the muddy water or if they are just AWOL but whatever it is those buggers ain't bitin'. I hope they will warm up soon to the overwhelming charm of my flies and grab a few of them.

In the meantime it was good to get out of the Delta and feel the pull of the steel. I got some fish this week with the help of Ryan Williams. He has a new iPhone 13 Pro that he used to take these pictures. They are good. If you want to get a nice steelhead and come home with a good picture of it he is the man. It was a foggy and overcast day that felt kind of like winter. Good time to be out.
