Here's my favorite pic from the last few seasons of steelhead fishing. Not the biggest or brightest fish but it's special to me. It's a pic of me and my dad holding not only his first ever steelhead but also the first fish he has ever hooked and landed on his own.

I'll let you figure it out. He admitted to seeing the Make Beliefs winning their last Stanley Cup. That was in 1967 ;)

I consider a passion for steelhead to be a gift. If you aint got it, thats too bad for you. If you do, good for you.

If you have it, you know that you dont need to have a fish on to be happy. It just makes every day more better. I dont have it, but I do have one for salt water springs. Im starting to think that I could get even more pumped about steelheading if I tried it.

Well sort of!!!!  I was born in Scotland, but I don't remember any of it, my mom and dad were stationed over there when I was born.  They came back to Nova Scotia when I was only six months old!!!!  Then we moved out of Nova Scotia when I was about six because they closed tha atlantic salmon fishery down out there for a while and my dad said he had no reason to stay anymore!!!!  Then I was in winterpeg for 21 years and did my far share of walleye, northern pike and Rainbow trout fishing.  After that I moved to Calgary for three years, but the Bow river with it's Brown trout just wasn't enough to keep me there.  I needed to fish for real fish once again, so I moved out here.  I would never leave BC.  I love it here!!!!!  I have got to have salmon, there is nothing like it!!!! ;D ;D ;D
