by JD on June 16, 2010

So, I’ve been working on a couple articles today for Salmon Trout Steelheader and Fish Alaska magazines, going through my photo catalog and…BAM…I ran across this one of me and Matt “Go Home” Kinne in British Columbia a few years ago and I’ve gotta say my productivity for the day is now pretty much shot.

The Coolest Damn Fish!

I was once asked by someone why I fished for steelhead…“So I can see ‘em up close” was the first thing that came to mind.

I don’t care if it’s a 6-pound hatchery hen or a 30-pound wild BC buck, steelhead are the coolest damn fish you’ll ever encounter…
