Goals for this winter? Tough to say.
At 12/31/11, I stood looking back on 12 months of suffering in my first year of chasing steelhead and a big, fat, zero to show for the effort.
This year, I finally caught/landed my first one in February. Ten months later and I'm 22 for 35 for the year with a month left to go.
I've also had my first multiple-hookup day, first steel limit, have even caught one swinging a fly and have already tagged a hefty winter on 11/30 for the new season, which turned out to be my heaviest hatchery catch to date.
So, goals? I'm so far ahead of where I imagined this year would take me, I'm not really sure. How about a win, place or show in any one of the Dec, Jan, Feb Chromedome Challenge contests hosted by NWK? Sure, why not? Too bad my 11/30 hen was a day early, because I'm not even on the board yet. LOL!
