Well Searun, glad to see you make your arrival!!!  I already had my days on the water cut drastically last year!!!  I don't know if I could have them cut anymore, as I think that I only made it out 12-14 times last year.  But I could always check my journel for that info!!!!!
Glad you like the video Rod!!!!  I guess that with friends like this around I don't need any enemies ! ::) ;D
  I guess that A good way to shut me up though, is to catch a fish sometime, then I wouldn't have to post mine for something to talk about!! ;D ;D

Now don't be bitter b.s. i didn't post the video you just got gt all riled up because he cant fish as much as he would like which is even less than me this year,remember if you are going to slam your fishing buddies they can slam to,don't take it personally its all in good fun, just relax and enjoy yourself a good day on the river doesn't have to allways result in ego boosting catch stats,if you want catch stats i could bore you to death with over twenty years worth,B.s. we wont think any less of you even if all you could catch was bullheads.Lol.

Alright, you've all been waiting for this...

Big Steel's steelhead performance

Buckeye compressed the file for me, down to about 1.5mb for faster download. You can either left click on it and view it on the media player right away, or right click and choose save as... for viewing it again, and again, and again...

Enjoy. I'll leave this up for a week or so.

I have a question about the previous Vedder River boxing day steelhead durbys. Do most of the hatchery steelhead caught on the 26th come out of the lower river, because they are just starting to show up? Or have they been pulled out equally from top to bottom?

I have seen them caught all through the system but i personally prefer the mid section of river this early in the season ,i have seen more fish caught in the mid river year after year,i think the early run has a tendency to hold a little longer in the mid river, tight lines.
