Fly fishing for winter steelhead on a pontoon boat

   / @cascadeflyfisher1489  

Flies that caught: Sexy Walts Worm, Red Dart
Water Temp: 40°F

After having some early success chasing Steelhead, I had to get back out there. This time I got to float the river on a pontoon and getting to cover so much water was a huge advantage that got me 4 in the net this time. Sadly, the new PB, a 25" 5lb fish, didn't get caught on film. I guess I need to go yet again :D
