I take advantage of every opportunity to go out fishing. The idea of being able to disconnect from the rest of the world and focus on one thing is an amazing feeling.

I didn’t fish the opener of the winter steelhead season this year. Apparently, I have a thing about symmetry as I didn’t fish the close, either. A combination of real-life factors kept me off the water on these dates. I found solace in a petition to the Steelhead Whisperer for on-the-water reports. Thus it was…
