Between our crew of five I bet we put in over 100 hours of steelhead fishing on the coast Fri-Sun. The result: one dime bright hen around 12 lbs and some minor sunburn.
Yeah it was tough this year. You really just had to be in the right spot at the right time. And sometimes there was someone there dragging a gill net in front of you… It was not my year, but it is never a regret getting out and enjoying the company of others who share the pain, and delight in those who were redeemed. I put in over 100 hrs by myself and only had two strong tugs and an encounter that only lasted for a breath. Now I am looking forward to heading to Montana at the end of the month to get some non-anadromous trout that bite!
Haha… I would have never imagined seeing the words Fish + Porn used in the same phrase. However your are very correct there is always a period where you need to be reminded/motivated that there is fish out there… Nice post!

Still worth every minute, every time!

Cool pics! I feel so envious to the catch. I haven’t catch any fish weighing more than 20lbs. They’re all tiny ones, it’s just so sad.
