Default All I want for Christmas is...

"All I want for Christmas is a picture with a steelhead." Well, after 6 trips to various coastal streams and help from MANY ifish members, Santa finally granted my wish with a nice hen!!!

I got to the Guide Shop at 2pm today and a few minutes later, the fight was on...I was drifting a red corkie with eggs. BTW, the eggs were given to me by KodiakFisher...thank you! After all was said and done, I couldn't believe how warm the Wilson River was or maybe it was all the adrineline going through my body.

Again, thanks to ALL ifish members for helping me land my first steelhead!

Merry Christmas and Happy Fishing!

Alan

Congradulations! Looks like I picked the wrong river for my Friday afternoon outting.

Kodiak's eggs must not have been looking when he drove past that herd of elk

Congrats on your XMas present [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

I think I'm getting greedy...
"All I want for Christmas is a picture with TWO steelhead." Will Santa grant my wish??

Otolith, you're right. Those eggs weren't looking because they were in the cooler. :smile: I only have 1 package left and I don't know what I'm gonna do when they run out.

5-days and counting...Merry Christmas y'all!

Good job on the fish, I am still chanting the same thing..."All I want for christmas is...."

I think it will come true pretty soon, we might be moving to Alaska so that will be cool. I will be hooking fish almost every time I go.
