What I did'nt know
Hey Everybody, My name is Ryan and I'm new. I got to go steelhead fishing with Deetz and Slickfish last week. I had never been steelhead fishing before, and I found out much I didn't know about fishing. I learned wading streams in rubber boots is hard. I learned fighting large fish takes some technique. I learned what a seam is. I learned about egg sacs. I learned I like noodle rods. I learned to keep my hands on the cork. I learned how to bleed a fish (lol) I learned my 10lb fish weighed 20 by the time I got to the car. This was my first steelhead and by far my biggest fish ever. She's headed for the smoker! Thanks alot to Deetz and Slickfish for taking/helping me. I can't wait to go again.

Sweet. I never met them, but from their reps on here you got to learn from a couple of the best. Particularly on how that fish got bigger with each step toward the car.

I'm sure ya had a great time. Congrats on the hookup. And like Bings said - watch the sips. That's something I try hard to never partake in.........

He lost his first fish....and I thought he was gonna cry, or puke...or cry puke. After he settled down he admitted to me and Deetz that mentally...he had that sucker in a smoker. He admitted he was lickin' his lips every time it neared the bank.
Ryan did an absolutely fantastic job. He followed instructions to the letter, and his concentration was super-intense.
He's hooked.
Thanks Deetz....your a good duud.
Paul....I was bringin that kid with me Sat....I woke up super sick duud...he was super dissapointed.
I don't always snag fish, but when I do... I choose Little Cleos I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...
