High Water Heaven

November rains have come early this year and with a vengeance. My heart goes out to the farming community but being an avid steelheader my heart also tells me to savor these times. It is not too often that these conditions can be enjoyed in October. I have been fortunate enough to have fished my home trib on the drop under optimum conditions my last two outings. There cannot be enough said about fishing under ideal conditions with little human presence, the beautiful fall foliage, a crisp autumn bite in the air, the company of a great friend and a river full of lightening hot chrome.
