I lost 13 Steelhead, Now What?

I’ve got another amazing first steelhead fishing story from Chris this week.   There’s a great reminder for all of us who steelhead fish, and for life in general – The only way to Fail is to Quit.  Take it away Chris!

Landing a fly-caught steelhead on the Deschutes River was a rite of passage in our family. It shouldn’t take long, I thought. But over a two year period, beginning when I was 13, this simple goal turned into a fight for survival.   At least for my confidence.

         

Hooking Steelhead while Fly Fishing for Trout

Our first ever guest post for the Steelhead Success Story Series comes, appropriately from, my dad.  He has a great story about fly fishing for trout and a lesson learned about fly choice and technique.  Doug Stewart also has a blog at FlyFishingwithDougStewart.com.

If you want to listen to the interview I did with him just click here and enjoy.

He provides some good stories as we reflect about a lifetime of guiding.

Take it away Dad!

My first summer steelhead happened quite by accident.  I was fishing for Redside Trout in the Deschutes River and as usual, the grasshoppers had invaded the dry sagebrush and grassy riparian zone during the sultry month of August.
