I had a great time today with my guest Gary. He is recently retired and has become obsessed with steelhead, like most of us. Gary’s desire to chase unicorns has led him to spend a lot of time on the water this season, but without much success. Well, his luck changed today! Gary had a new switch rod and wanted to learn how to swing flies, so that was our focus. He was quick to learn the basics of casting and was rewarded with a solid grab on the swing. He nymphed between runs and hooked into two very large adults that managed to come unpinned after some epic battles. The stars aligned for Gary and the third time was the charm, as the beautiful wild steelhead came to net!
