2008 a look back

[Amerman]

As 2008 comes to an end. I wanted to look back at some of the fun trips I had. I am super lucky to get to do what I love for a job.


Winter steelhead last year started strong and was great all year long.

37 X 22 nate (22-23 pounds). The picture doesn't really show how big this fish was. It was a football, and we just didn't get a good shot.

Fall chinook season was one of the worst I have seen in years. We let a good percentage of our fall chinooks go this year with the run being so low and the one fish limits. Lots of females went back.
