This past Tuesday (3/24) I went out fishing with a good buddy who I haven't gotten to spend much time with this winter. Normally we get out a lot for winter steelhead, but this season he had been a lot busier than normal when I had my days off. My friend was the lucky hot hand out there for fish eating his fly on this day out. Since my wife and I got a new DSLR camera, I have been stoked to take lots of pictures when I am out fishing. Nonetheless here is a photo essay of the day out there.

| Spanning the water.... |
 |
| Fish on! ...........Oh.....false alarm, but it is a fish; just not the targeted species. |
 |
| A cute little Cutthroat trout incidentally caught on a large steelhead tube fly. |
 |
| A couple of casts later and the intended target species is on! |

| Preparing for landing mode..... |
 |
| Brian tailed the fish on the first solid attempt. Nice work! |
 |
| Another fine winter steelhead that fell for the black and blue color combo..... |
 |
| Adios Amigo! Back to finish your mission in the river.... |
 |
| The mossy Pacific Northwest & two handed fly fishing for steelhead is a perfect marriage. |
 |
| Had to represent the lush greenery that exists in late March along coast rivers in Oregon |
 |
| Working the water..... |
 |
| Mr. Morris patiently focusing on his swing while he waits for "the tug"...... |
 |
| Watch the "white mouse" run as you sweep your line. When it stops, your D-loop will be there ready for the delivery stroke. |
 |
| Spanning the run, cast by cast, swing by swing..... |

| Setting up the anchor on a two handed cast |
 |
| The delivery.... |
 |
| While I was fishing lower in this spot, Brian comes running downstream from the pool above with a fish on. |
 |
| Black and blue bunny tube catches another one for my friend Brian! |
 |
| Keep em wet...... |
 |
| Swinging up nice native winter steelhead in late March always brings big grins to anglers. |
