First Steelhead
« on: March 25, 2015, 10:36:08 AM »

Pretty excited to finally post something over the winter months.
I rarely post, because, well not much to post about.
Finally I have a chance AND got it all caught on camera.

First Steelhead of my life! Caught on a custom painted Bent Rods Colorado Blade.
