Winter steelheading with the spey rod is all about the experience. Making the cast. Mending the line. Slight modifications to the swing to slow the fly down, get the presentation just right. Sometimes you hook up, mostly you don’t. Aside from some bull trout, this day we went fishless.
Why we love this time of year. #winter
Just a few pics of a small, but bright fish from the middle of coho season here on the westside of the country. 
BAM, nailed this Washington Bonefish right out of the gate. What an amazing trophy…sooooo sick.
With such a disapointing strong start to the day, we expected to get into some coho. It was not to be as they were playing hard to get.
Musky fishing agenda, Step 1: learn how to cast the size huge flies needed to successfully catch a musky. Outcome: Fail.
Step 2: After paying the price in blood, this low 30″ fish came out to play. Small for a musky, but still a big mean looking fish. Keep your hands away from those jaws. Outcome: Great Success! Big thanks to the Warmwater Rambler guide service for putting us on the fish.
Step 3: Lose a monsterous beast with a gaping maw like an alligator. This is what the angler and the guide look like after losing a possibly 50″ fish. How was it lost? The beast bit straight through 80 pound flourocarbon. Sounds hard to believe, but it happened.
Step 4: Finally figure out how to cast without hooking your friend.
Step 5: On day 2, get on the water at 5:30am and touch nary a fish all day. That’s Musky fishing. Musky fishing is hard. There is no other way to put it. And now we see how the addiction begins – always looking for that bigger, better fish.
…I have fished these waders for 4 months and have been completely satisfied with the results. I have taken a few spills on rocks, and they have held up nicely. The true fit of the Adrenaline waders makes the time in the water easy. There is minimal “ballooning” in the legs because of the contoured fit while still allowing for free range of motion and movement. The suspender system fits comfortably, and when properly adjusted, allows the top of the waders to sit high on your torso…
"Very comfortable set of waders... same quality as some $800+"
For every wader we sell we plant one tree along salmon and trout bearing streams.
