Well, after 17 years of mostly futility chasing steelhead on the fly, it finally happened to me - the ultimate day of steelhead fishing. Hooked 22 landed 12 summer steelhead to 12 lbs. on my favorite river in California in about 8 hours of fishing. To those out there still not giving up no matter how bleak it can seem at times, hang in there. Your day will come, too.

Best,
