Had an awesome day with Steve looking for some chrome up on the North Coast. After almost a month of dry weather we were finally treated to some rain earlier this week giving our coastal rivers a much needed recharge and putting some color back into the water. As expected, the rain brought more than just a hint of green back into the rivers. A fresh pulse of sea bright steelhead finally got what they too had been waiting for and have shown up at long last.

Steve went 1 for 2 today, bringing a chrome dart to hand before hooking up with a nice adult that ended up coming off. I saw a few fish holding from the bank and also witnessed another spey fisherman hook up and land a nice adult. All said and done, the fishing on the coast was good. Things should start to really heat up here in the next few weeks as more rain is forecast to fall. I'm looking forward to the new year and spending days on the water chasing chrome. 

Happy holidays from the North Coast!
