I have always tried to seclude myself when steelheading, tapping into nature is way better in a quite area where one can take it all in. I much prefer a run with few or no fish over a run where the anglers out number the fish. Like Gil I was hoping this winter was going to be a long one. Good thing about this years opener is the crowds will be in vain as most of the fish will have done their thing and be back out in the lake. Soon it will be time for me to chase some resi's!Tony Nardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993381739919453234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36511780.post-82383282878665774292012-03-25T16:06:11.604-04:002012-03-25T16:06:11.604-04:00think i could fit in there beside the 2 end guys w...think i could fit in there beside the 2 end guys with my spey rod looks like a tone of room to fly cast lolSteeliemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14697579745963098520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36511780.post-18657326755160373822012-03-25T13:59:42.876-04:002012-03-25T13:59:42.876-04:00YIKES!!

The combination of limited open season water and high angling pressure on my local systems does not fuel my passion.<br /><br />I certainly used to love 'Opening Weekend' but strictly from a hanging with the boys and drinking beer perspective - I actually used to wish for unfishable conditions so as to limit the shit rat convention.<br /><br />If I am going to put up with sweaty balls and black flies I much prefer to be deep in Algonquin Park catching brookies and not seeing another person for days.... I am so looking forward to getting back in there this Spring!!!<br /><br />On a brighter note, with that much open water over there and a Hyde you shouldn't have that much trouble finding solitude!!!<br /><br />Go get 'em buddy!Harvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159681706669109137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36511780.post-23741965256547976822012-03-24T23:20:53.730-04:002012-03-24T23:20:53.730-04:00Can I get an Amen...
