The fish are smarter, the conditions less harsh. Everything out west is always raging ... Raging wind, raging water, raging fish. The west is angry, the east seems calm, collected.<br /><br />Yes, I was pretty freakin' ecstatic when I hooked into that thing. Even more so when I landed it. I know steelhead aren't like catching a trout of that size, but they sure are fun every once-in-a-while.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152540275123479340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246601229297993652.post-79962124155629174702010-01-28T15:59:20.215-07:002010-01-28T15:59:20.215-07:00Ahhhhhh, Jeff!
