Angler Rob joined us today to get in on some March steelhead, what he got was a lot of practice casting.......
You see Rob had just treated himself to a custom steelhead rod built on one of Gary Loomis' new state of art North Fork blanks which is undeniably the best fishing rod blank on the planet, and to compliment it he attached a Shimano Stratic loaded with braided line. Now a fishing rod of this caliber combined with a day with us on my home stream in the middle of March SHOULD be a day to remember ....that's what I thought to.
We fished as hard as one could fish, we hit every seam, tail out, and slot we could find. Rob casted in water I'd never seen before. Cast after cast after cast we watched a float that just refused to go down. It's hard to say what turns a bite off and on, some say barometer, others the moon phase, or it could be just dumb ol luck. What ever the answer is, these days do happen and that's why we call it fishing
