Anybody want to share your dream trips, and your reason?
I guided to pay for college. We fished flies for half pounders in the late summer and early fall, 13-15 inch juvenile steelhead for the most part with a few slightly larger, then switched to lures and bait for the adult winter steelhead. There was a summer run of adult fish but we never targeted them because there weren't enough to justify guiding and it was a busy time of year for gardening and preparation for the fall season which was our bread and butter. Though I have had customers catch big steelhead on flies, I've always been on the oars, not fishing.
Most of the flies I used guiding were flies my mom tied. She died in '92. I still have some of her flies.
I have many dreams but my "biggest" personal fly fishing dream is to catch my first big steelhead on a mom-tied "bug".
