Well, here's the abbreviated version for those in a hurry - went 2 for
7 steelhead and a whole bunch of hits from steelhead and little fish.
Lost a fly line on a fish and later recovered it. All of the action
was on the brown trout weamer. DDFS swappers take note.

Yeah, the way you've been promoting it, I'm anxious to give it a shot.
That's one *hell* of a fish in the photo!


Bad news is, I tied 8 weamers for the swap and used 'em all on these
fish. My bad. [slap, OUCH!]

The other thing I didn't mention is that I used an Atlantic salmon
swing on these fish offering a broadside presentation that's running
faster than the current. Not supposed to work for steelhead but
somebody forgot to tell these fish. I won't be reminding them. All
of the hits came on the turn as the line tightened up and the fly went
from traveling down and across to up and across. No stripping. Water
clarity was about 3' and temp about 40 or so. GL Steelhead aren't
supposed to chase swung flies in these conditions.
