I am saying a little prayer to the Steelhead Gods for you.



Many years ago when we were on the Gualala or Garcia I was happy to see anyone fight one of those fresh beasts.

Talk about fresh wild fish.......it was magic to even watch others do battle.........even bait fishermen.

If it was not for my "Gezzer Patrol", old friends from the Greatest Generation, I would not have gone over there.

Great fly fishers like Joe Shirshac, Walt Bennett, Joe Patterson and Al Perryman took us with them to the coast.

Then us Baby Boomers would take the next generation with us like Galen Geller, Paul Keel and Phil Romig.
