I remember this morning... waking up at 4:30 to get there at sun up to find the unspooked fish and throwing them single egg pattern with no indicator. Talk about waking you up! So much fun!

Taking turns between net man and fly rod wielder equaled in excitement value on this small stream. So much deadhead, downed or overhanging trees, logs etc. Maybe one of the funnest 6 am trips ever.

..Tony and I are old denizens of pick-up hockey locker rooms and that's actually a sign he gives-a-damn. :)

I do give a damn, and if you don't believe me, Spence, the next time that I catch you coming off of the left wing board, I'll find a spot on my right elbow for your nose...
All men who fish may in turn be divided into two parts: those who fish for trout and those who don't. Trout fishermen are a race apart: they are a dedicated crew- indolent, improvident, and quietly mad.

"Makes me wish I had been there!!"

You can catch steelhead just as big if you drive up to the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY. Just jump on the Quickway, head west to Binghamton, then north on I-81 to Pulaski. You could be there in about 3 1/2 hours.

Posts: 168		Spence, mind if I take this shift? >=) I don't mind tossing down the mitts. DCMHL all time pim's leader can strike again. Hopefully I can get some more Steelie photos here in Feb. Temperatures actually haven't been stable, but not too cold either. Late Feb and March they go bananas for egg patterns and stone fly nymphs.

Posts: 168		@bowmandjk Do you regularly fish for winter chrome? Very few places you can actually do it here because of the freeze. I usually wait until early to mid Feb to hit it hard again. A few of our main rivers hold fish almost all year. Anytime the temperatures are in the 40's or high 30's and stable, the Steelies and Browns really start to actively feed.
