6/28/2013 4:28:00 PMBeautiful Fish! Nice work! It almost looks like there's a pink jig in the one in the picture. Am I mistaken?

6/28/2013 5:19:00 PMHey Wbroekhof, That's not a jig, he put a piece of yarn on the hook. I Didn't think about it.,he might have put some juice on the yarn!!!!.....that little cheater

6/28/2013 8:23:00 PMI was hoping someone else would notice. Stan is right of course. Last Monday did not require gloves, the trees are currently green, and that ain't the Sky. Why do people B.S. like that?

Hard to tell looking at that pic, but zoomed in it's obvious.

6/28/2013 11:52:00 PMYou got me, I'm busted!! It's hard to even land a fish on a high bank with a 13' spey rod, when you mostly fish alone , not to mention getting a pic of a fish when you want to release the fish. I only have a few pics on my computer of Steelhead since I started fly fishing 3 years ago. I guess I could have put a report without any pics, but that's not any fun. So my partner was not there, I almost landed 2 fish. One was about 7lbs. The other was a Wild Buck of about 8lbs that I did not want to drag up on the beach. I was holding on to my line reaching for my pliers when the line broke. I would have put a fish pic of around 8lbs if I had any, that I haven't used allready

7/2/2013 11:20:00 PMHey Fisherben, I'm using a spey rod, so my line is a 500 grain Skagit head with a 15' type 6 sink tip and a 5' 10lb leader
