So here is my lackluster report from yesterday!! :-\

Made it out for a long day yesterday, fished from first light through till after 3.  Started up top, saw nothing there, then hit mid, and after a while, saw a couple.  A nice 12-13 lb long slender doe.  Man that was a beautiful fish,  Took a couple pics for the guy and his dog.  Funny thing the dog grabbed the guys line a couple times, and I thought for sure the fish was going to make it's escape.  :o ???  But I ran out into the river and grabbed the fish when I saw it was a hatchery.  Then after pounding it a bit more, headed down to the Peach rd area and realized that the water I wanted to fish now was on the other side of the river.  Mental note for next time.  Nice water down there, just better fished from the other bank.  Hammered it around the area for about 2 hrs then decided I was done. Saw or heard of nothing in that area.  0-6 and counting for me!!  Getting to be a man possessed now, and think that I will head up tomorrow and New Years day, so no partying for me, this is more important!!  ;D  The cool thing is, the girlfriend knows how important this is to me, and backs me 100%!!!  :o    SO I may be 0 fer 8 by the time I have to go back to work, but not for lack of trying. But I am getting closer, the last few trips I have been in the right general area, and I now have 5 runs that I have seen produce fish.  So.......

I warned you that the searun curse works  ;D . You never believe me but once he puts it on it is there till he decides to take it off. I guess you better be really nice to him or it will last all steelhead season.

Wow, DH had his steely in one cast and BS ( a top rod in the forum) had o in 6 tries (probably thousands of casts). Such is steelheading. Congrats to your beauty DH, and keep on trucking BS.  ;D

Don't worry freak the searun curse is the most powerful curse out there when it comes to fishing  ;D . I would take any other curse but if I had the searun curse put on me I would be screwed for the season. Sorry BS. You better be nice to him.

You know you are totally souding like a crazed hack, and losing credibilty if you ever had any.  Curses, there are no curses other than you actually catching one for only what the 3rd time since I met you. ::)  Now you won't shut the hell up.  Really man, learn when to shut up.  It was one fish.  Come at me when you can hit more than 5 in one season.

Don't mean any harm BS. Curse or no curse, the top rods will come out on top at the end of the season for sure. Right now early in the season with very few fish around, luck is more important than skill in catching a steely. Look forward to many of your catch reports, much more than us so-so rods.  :)

Take a pill
That happy place is on the river and I will be back there tomorrow and the next day!!  As for being a Top Rod, well.....I am not one, I am just a guy that has a lot to learn still.  That is why I spend so much time out there watching the river and trying to figure out this game.

FlyGuy, have your fun now.  You deserve it I guess after not being to make it out that much over the last couple seasons.  You know I won't stay down for that long.  Persistance always pays off. ;)

A double hernia surgery right at the beginning of steelhead season two years ago and working 90 hours a week at three jobs to put the wife threw school last year made it pretty tough to get out and fish. Spent my free time in bed.
