just to practice my steelhead swing. I took a class with a local guide/instructor over the weekend to get the mechanics down and wanted to keep up the practice. So, i had the day off and headed down to the river. I had no expectations of catching anything and wasn't planning on it.
Man did rain and blow.
Fine practice weather though. So, i was at the river by the boat ramp and old burned out guide shop. Happily swinging away and then it happened....
I caught a fish.
Unfortunately it wasn't a steelhead. Not surprised though.
A nice 13" cutthroat. On an orange leach. Then i caught another, 15" this time. I was pretty happy at this point. lol. Then i caught an other something that promptly broke off my fly.
At this point i called it good. All in all a good day of just practice.
