Hey, thanks for posting a pic. I love putting a face to a name. I didnt really notice the fish, was too busy looking at the ink on your upper arm.

Hey Steve,
Good to "SEE" you. Nice fish. I live near the McKenzie river which is famous for it's McKenzie redside trout, and Steelhead/Salmon. I have seen spawned out steelhead in my creek right behind the house.
Thanks for the picture,
Dan

Weeshan, my wife said we ought to take a few pics of our tats and post them up after looking at your sleeve, I'll see what I can do in the next fer days.

Dan I actually fished the McKenzie about 3 years ago and landed one steelhead in 4 days of almost round the clock fishing but let me tell you it was worth every cast made (and the cramp I had in my arm for a month) I love to flyfish and have not actually picked up terminal tackle for almost 5 years now and I catch everything I used to on terminal tackle from catfish and carp to bass and crappie, as well as the ocasional trout. Do you fish???

Steve

The big shot fishermen here like to catch sharks and other salt game fish on fly rods. I have never tried fly fishing, but have caught nice trout when I have put dragon flies on my line and shot it out sort of like a bow. Hold one finger on the hook and bend the rod and let go at the right time. I just renewed my license today as a matter o fact. I plan on going archery fishing in a few with my bow and fishing arrow. Though you can not bow fish game fish. I will be looking for flounder and triple tails

Hi Steve,
I still fish every once in a while. I used to fish 24/7, haven't really fished a whole lot with a fly rod, but some. I've done quite a bit of ocean fishing, and a lot of trout fishing. Archery fishing I did do once for carp, that was fun.

I wish I could fish the salt I want to take some flies to the salt soooOOO bad I can't stand it, I really would like to land a 100lb+ fish on a fly and that just doesn't happen in fresh water!! As far a bow fishing goes I do it sometimes just for fune but we do things a little different here since we have the asian carp so thick we can kill them till the boat is full, go put them in a dumpster and head back for more, the conservation department hates them as they are an invasive nonnative species and are very bad for the river system here in Missouri.

Just a little youtube flick of how we go after the asian carp around here, not me or my friends but it gives you an idea of what kind of silly crap we doo on the weekends!!!
