Columbia River Steelhead
« on: September 07, 2009, 06:20:25 AM »
I got my first Columbia steelhead last week. It was 38'' long, and no idea on weight. It was a wild fish and I let it go unharmed. I became addicted to steelhead fishing even more! That was the only fish we got, but more were caught around us.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

If I ever had any sort of addictions in my life.  Steelheading might have been one of them.

Steelhead addiction is an un-kickable habit.  I started when I was 12 and it still hasen't gotten old 14 years later.  If anything it gets worse :twocents:
Hunting and Fishing are not matters of life or death... THEY ARE WAY MORE IMPORTANT!!!
