The Start of Steelhead Season
Ah, fall… Up at 5, in the woods by 7. By 9 I’ve spotted two deer. A couple mile walk up a creek later & I have my first steelhead of the season on a fly rod - a small, ~12 inch/~1.5 lb female. She wasn’t big enough to pull any drag, but lept into the air twice. I hope it’s the first of many to come this season.
