On to longer bellies


"To me, heads are for people who don't want to learn how to cast."

There's truth in that statement, if you emphasize cast, and I'm guilty of it.


So in an effort to enrich this thing called steelheading, I picked up a Delta spey and have started practicing my single and traditional double speys.



It's been challenging, especially on a 13 footer, as you can see here...



But after a couple of days, I settled it down and I think it's starting to come together.

Now if I can just catch a steelhead... :)
