Day 1 Well the 1st day started on a bad note. As I stepped out of the car to get ready to hit the water, I noticed, SH*T! I forgot my waders! Really? How can you forget your waders while going steelhead fishing? You dumb*ss Mario! After a quick ride over to a local baitshop I grabbed some $40 hip-boots. I wasn't going to let it ruin my day! Anyway, the bottom line is that I will never live this one down, and Alan has ammunition to bust my balls for at least a year. But don't worry, I didn't forget who got the skunk..I set off to the water with my "Russian waders" on, if anyone gets the joke, wink wink.

Hey, you like my waders? HAHA
Day 2 With the river still dropping we headed to a spot farther upstream. The day started off good with dad hitting a fish on the first stop. With our heads up, we fished on, hoping for a good day. We soon took a peace of humble pie. Most of the day was a big dry period. For me it was snag. tangle, breakoff, etc. Not loosing hope we went back downstream to hear that my dad hooked a few.
Jeremy didn't give up and brought to hand this nice female. Finally got your eggs!
Not giving up I kept fishing, Finally I saw my float disappear,fish on! After a hearty fight in cold water, I got a hen of my own.
A fine
Oncorhynchus mykiss specimen of 28 inches.
Little did I know I had a magnificent surprise awaiting me.....Sorry to do this but you will have to stay tuned for this story.
Day 3 I went to the darkside and took some dust off the spinning rod. I quickly hit a fish on my second drift-This drop back hen.
90% of the fish this day were Dark, with only one bright skipper.
Stay tuned...................................Mario
