It was nice meeting you today and I'm glad I could help out. I just happen to be out on a cabinet delivery today (I have my own cabinet shop) and Where you had backed in didn't look all that bad and I probably would have tried it too, given what a steelhead addict I am.
We all have done things like this, I remember a few years ago I was launching on the Mckenzie after work and in a big hurry , I tied a poor knot on the bow of my drift boat pushed it off the trailer and watched the knot come undone. That was a hopeless feeling watching my boat drifting down the river with all my gear in it almost out of sight.
Just then I heard a car topper boat with a little 5 hp motor coming up the river (this is at hendricks park). I really couldn't believe what I was seeing as the guy grabbed my boat and brought it to me. I still think about that day and the odds of that happening.
I would like to fish with you someday as you seem to have the same passion for steelheading as I do. , but you don't owe a thing, Just glad it all turned out good and sorry you didn't catch any fish.
