Woohoo!  What a beauty, Chris, congrats on your first fish of the season.  :)  I hate the way you break up your story into multiple posts, but don't ever stop doing it that way, because I love it too.  It keeps me on the edge of my seat!  lol

Cheers.
:D

Good read Chris, and nice fish.

Always nice to get one early in the season to get the monkey off your back.

Hopefully you get a big one this year and win that kingfisher, looks like you could put it to good use. Or at least convince Dave to re cork your rod lol  ;)

Congrats on the early steelhead Chris! 2 more days of blacktail hunting and I plan to be out there as well.
