Hot Fish...Hot Jams

So this one is kinda heavy.  Please, if you enjoy a good jam while hitting the river I want you to press play and work through some of the shots below. I love to fish, and coinciding with that, is making sure that there are some hot jams setting the stage for the day.

 Richard below set some high standards for us this week and that half smurk/grin can sum up an emtion of, wow did that fish just grace me with its presence.  Yes it did Richard, and what a fantastic fish it was.  

We were also fortunate enough to catch up with a couple guys who besides being from the Pits#$%5g area were pretty classy guys.  It was a great day with some awesome weather and some nice fish brought to the net. Mike shown below has spent many of days chasing wild PA trout, but after a couple days chasing Steelhead, I think a new 7wt rod may be in his near future.

Sandy was a Mean Mother

Well we wanted rain and we got it. Hurricane Sandy blew up the eastern seaboard and dump a whole bunch of rain on Ohio.  

Flooding out most of NE Ohio's rivers, Sandy forever changed them. When the river's get such a forceful blow much of the river can change.  Your old reliable fishing hole may be a thing of the past or that piece of water you hardly ever fish, may have turned into something special. 

Below is a bunch of pictures from over the past week.  Lets hope mother nature doesn't turn down right cold and she gives us more time to hit our local waters.

THANK A VETERAN, IT'S BECAUSE OF THEM WE ENJOY OUR PASSIONS IN LIFE.

USA.

Cheers,

Double Down

In the past week, I was fortunate to meet and fish with some great people.  

We had some people hook, hold, and release their first steelhead this week. It is always fun watching someone's eyes open up and for them to step into the passion of Steelhead fly fishing. Here's to the young men I met this past week, Charlie, Chase, and Keegan.

The rivers are low and clear with some fish left in them.  Fishing has been ok, nothing great, but still plenty of reason to get out on the water.  The pictures tell the rest of the story.

Cheers,

Owen
