first winter steel on a fly
today I went fishing with my dad and one of our friends on a coastal river I decided to take the fly rod, walked up and first cast wham fish on! took me down to my backing twice.I got it in about 10 min.About 1.5 hours later I hook up again and handed off to my dad,it was his first steelhead and first fish on a fly rod. We ended it up with 2 fish and I helped release a nate for a older gentle man. Im pretty excited becuase I got my first keeper winter and biggest fish on a fly rod today also.
I think im gonna start leaving the non fly gear at home more often

Re: first winter steel on a fly
That's a great accomplishment, well done!! A "coastal river" you say... now if I could only figure out where the "Hebo Inn" is located

Re: first winter steel on a fly
Nah, that's not Pacific City. It's Lincoln City.
Congratulations!

Re: first winter steel on a fly
You could honestly be the only person on this site who could say they were fishing/hunting near Hebo and not be trying to pull someone's chain....

Re: first winter steel on a fly
Everyone jokes about hunting near Hebo on the hunting forum, so it's funny that you posted that picture. I didn't even know Hebo existed, I thought it was made up. Nice fish by the way!

Re: first winter steel on a fly
Congrats on a nice couple of fish!
Help a new guy and let me in on why all the jokes about Hebo 
When I lived in Salem I used to fish several spots in the area. Other than deciding that life is too short to bank fish the Three Rivers boat ramp, I always had good luck there...
