The most rewarding part of the catch was the guide and my friend asking me if I heard what an elderly gentleman on the bank said. I wear hearing aids and did not hear him. "I tip my hat to you on the way you played that fish". I had a lot of help...from the reel. Smooth drag and smooth line play as each run hit hard and fast. Those who have caught steelhead know the power and surges these fish can make. Am appreciative of the opportunity to participate in the great natural resources of Oregon. jimcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158498458652542586noreply@blogger.com
