Hen Steelhead – New Friends
First-time guests—the Joyners joined me today to fly fish for hen steelhead. While this was the first time I’ve had the pleasure hosting them, they’ve made plenty of memories here before. The river dropped significantly this morning, just prior to the drop Tom landed this thick...
