floated the deschutes sun up to sun down with two of the frothiest anglers i’ve ever met
no steelies found but some insane sights kept me blissed out all day. can’t believe this was my first time here?!?
thanks for the float @silufei & @adadromous
OH MY FUCKING GOD I FINALLY DID IT /// STEELHEAD ON THE SWING FINALLLY AHHHHH
catching this fish means so fucking much to me. I’ve put in so much time and have gone home empty handed more times than I can fucking count but today my luck changed and I’m overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. to snag one in my home river after 3 years straight is just mind bending. thanks to @rangerdanw for all your help and knowledge and pushing me to go this morning at 6:30am. Ive also attached are some sights from an incredibly beautiful winter standing waist deep in the cold ass river. yes that’s a beaver we saw today💞💞
ramble / rant over, I caught a fucking steelhead on the fly rod AHHHAHA
