Sniper Whitey...

Terrible picture, I know.  The story is about mechanics. As in how the hell does a whitefish put that hook in that mouth.  Mega advanced geometry if you ask me.

Standing in one of the fishiest runs in the entire lower river,  I get the telltale sign that every steelhead fisherman is looking for.

Pluck, pluck, pluck...(oh shit, we got a player) pluck....(drop the loop)

Line comes tight....( yes, the fish is still there)

Slight lift of the rod (here we go!)

Wait, not enough umpf to this (WTF, a whitey?)

The fish got me good.  Got my heart going, subjected me to a bit of ridicule from fellow fishermen.

Damn, it almost was...SNIPER!!

A Rare Opportunity...Olympic Penninsula Prime Time

I just got a note from Jeff Brazda saying he just had a cancellation during absolute prime time in the winter steelhead window of the Olympic Peninsula. 

March 10th-17th.  These dates are usually never open because of repeat customers

His operation is top notch, and if you are considering heading to the land of Sasquatch in search of ghosts this winter/early spring, I would call him today and snatch up those dates

His guides have the heart of teachers and work their asses off.  The respect the resource and work hard to provide the correct experience.

Tinsel Aint Just For the Christmas Tree...

Nope, Steelhead also have an affinity for it.  Here's a little bug that's going to get some R and D time on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
