The Perfect day of Steelheading
If I could order up my perfect day for steelheading, It'd be grey, cool not cold, no wind, a friend or two that I don't get to fish with too often, a coffee, a short boat ride, and gab at the start and end of each spot. This day would also include something good to snack on, my casting would be decent, no crowds or jockeying for position and a fish for the one who would appreciate it the most. I've experienced this day a number times, not too many tho, I don't want to throw around "the perfect day of steelheading" so much to take away from it. I'm sure i wouldn't hate a day when we just railed on fish and caught loads of giants, but the cocktail described above is rare, special and deserves to be savoured.
