Fly fishing for steelhead on a snow day. Weather was warming up this day and the snow was melting. Little did I know the water was about to get blown out. That didn't stop us from getting onto some fish though. The best days to fish are whenever you can.

I also got to meet Rick again, who was the guy who gave me an olive wooley bugger. Super cool guy, wish I got his contact info so you all could book some guided fishing trips with him. Thanks for watching!
