Nothing Makes a Fish Bigger Than Almost Being Caught.

First Blood







Bret (with one T) drew first blood on the Lower D last weekend. Bret, like me, spent a lot of hours on the water, as well as in transit to fishing locations in order to catch the ever elusive steelhead. It all finally paid off last weekend with a pretty little native hen and a dandy of a hatchery buck. The nate went about 5 lbs and the brat about 7.5 lbs. Not bad at all. Yours truly took home the skunk, but it was fun to see Bret get into a fish or two. And one on the fly!I fished my entire first season without so much as a nibble so I can relate to the frustration that comes from the many hours and attempts invested that seem fruitless. Congrats on some nice fishies, Bret. Tight Lines!

Well, it looks like the Lord had blessed us both that day. It's just that he was particularly good to me.
