Spring Steelhead

I had a great week in Alaska seeing family and fishing for steelhead.  They are a very smart fish and quite the challenge.  They are known as the fish of a thousand casts, and it sure did seem like that at times. 
CJ was able to fish with me for 2 days and he made the most of it by catching his first steelhead.
I also got to try octopus.  Cherie, Trace, and Andy were very nice to me.  They fed me wonderful food each day, including halibut enchiladas.    It was a great week to be in Alaska.
