"I fish because I love to, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of man are equally unimportant; and not nearly so much fun."

A milestone for me as I caught my first steelhead on a fly rod!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the fish, but it measured out to be 33 inches long.  If you use the "9 lbs @ 24", add a pound for every additional inch" formula, that works out to be 13 lbs.  It was caught on a Green-Butt Skunk, tied low-water style.

more to come....
