Hi Y'all.

5 yrs ago my lovely wife gave me a guided trip down the Sol Duc with our venerated "you know who". I had never caught a steelhead & did'nt know squat. First thing Bob asks my buddy and I was "Did either of you bring any banana's??!! My partner promptly pulls out a whole bunch to the surprise of our guide. Needless to say we were pretty embarrased about that & after the explanation was given we thought our chances were greatly diminished that day. Well, not more than 60 seconds into our first drift, the middle rod does that dance (we were fishing plugs since we obviously didn't know a thing about drift fishin'). My very first Steelhead was a 12lb. hen with gnarled fin & nasty scar from the nets. Thanks be to the Bob!
