View Full Version : Devons first steelhead!!!! PICTURE
My youngest son Devon (22 years old) not only landed his first steelhead tonight BUT caught it flyfishing on the Deschutes and on a flyrod I built for him. Nice little hatchery hen that he decided to release because of the long distance back to the car.
I will post a picture as soon as I can but I am mighty proud of my boy. :grin:
Green Butt Skunk was the fly BTW.
...who says you can't live vicariously through your kids :wink:

Way Cool Devon and Shane. Maybe you can help us out this Winter on the Wilson, and get us into our first jig caught Steelhead. Sure was nice to see you at Wiser's & F-5 last Sat.!! :grin:
Same to ya Rick and Linda! I would love to get you into your first jig caught steelhead. If Mark and RT hadn't helped me it would have been a long time before I caught mine.

Way to go Devon your first steelhead. Theres nothing like it, when it first hits and then you set the hook on her then all hell brakes loses. That first run, and then your hart really starts pumping. And then when you get it in all the showing off that you do. Very nice cant wait to see that picture. good job

first off
,,great job man..i love to see the ( kids ) catch that first steelhead
second
your kid just got his first steelhead at 22?? ?????? :whazzup: you need to spend more time with your kid man.. :wink:
just funning ya
now you will never have first water :rolleyes:
He did'nt decide he liked fishing until last year so I suppose better late than never. He had hooked fish before but had not landed anything. My oldest son (28 years) lives on the Alsea river catches a bunch of fish but still hits the old man up for his cured eggs any chance he gets.

Thats awesome Shane, my first steelie was also on the Deschutes.
Its a beautiful thing. :grin: Father and son sharing the joys of fishing together.
You and Devon will have that memory forever.
If more Dads spent time on the rivers with their kids, our would be a better place.

Hi Shane, My grandson is also named Devon. The problem is he is only about a year anf half old. I guess my Devon will have to wait a little longer.
Congrats.
Don't forget to include me in that coastal jig fishing with Rick and Linda.
Wish I clould have made it to Wisers last saturday but had another commitment at the KOA in Hammond.

Back to the top for the picture. Going back on Thursday and this time I fish that slot first.
