muggs Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I finally talked her into going fly fishing with me. Of course, I had to agree to let her use the rod the entire time, which was fine with me, I just wanted her to hook into some. The fishing was tough due to the extremely cold temperatures, but she managed to hook into a ton...although she only landed two, one of which was the smallest steelhead I've ever seen. That's OK though, she was a trooper, a natural caster and drifter. I finally realized that she might be fighting back tears due to her cold feet so we wrapped it up and hit the local sports pub. All-in-all, I great day and although it was cold, it was beautiful outside. The first fish of the day, a 'lil skipper: Her next one caught out of the same hole, a real colorful hen: Nicest pic of the day: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggs Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I guess there's hope for me, eh? Great pics Eric. Well, if you come up in the Spring Chris, I'd say a 50 fish day isn't out of the question if the river is flowing prime. How's that sound? When we're done, your arms will feel like jello.

muggs Posted December 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hey muggs, what area ya at? Can't beat a day of winter steelheadin'! tying up some extra flies now for a trip in near future, glos, meths, spawns, wooleys, kilowats, & ripple crush. Can't wait. Upper sections of the Grand River. Most of my fish have been coming on crystal meth patterns lately. That's my favorite fly for my area- hands down- no matter what time of year.

wildside Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Great pictures and story. Reminds me so much of back when my husband and I were dating. One of my favorite "dates" was a particular time when we were fishing out on Lake Michigan and came upon a hot spot for steelhead. We couldn't reel them in fast enough. It was an absolute blast! We still love enjoying the great outdoors together and now have our two little buddies (son, 6, and daughter, 4) to share the fun with us. There's a magnet on our refrigerator that reads "One great fisherman lives here with the catch of his life". I wish you a wonderful future with your "greatest catch"!
