Santiam: Your wonderful photo reminds me so much of the many happy Steelhead fishing ventures I have been on in the Pacific Northwest!
Thank you for sharing and posting it.
Is that fish from the "Santiam" - I have never fished there but have fished the Willamette and the Deschutes there in Oregon.
I ran a Steelhead Fishing Guide Service for a few years and had visions of doing it full time once I "retired" but I chose to move myself and my family out of "taxington".
I do miss the Steelheading though (the only thing I miss about the Puget Sound area!).
Thanks again.
Hold into the wind
