Taking a break from steelhead

Sometimes taking a break from steelhead is just the ticket. I often find myself bypassing other opportunities to feed my addiction. So when a buddy called and said he had a friday off and that we should go fishing we decided to do something that we had been talking about but have not gotten around to. We had been taking about hiking into a few lakes on Mt Hood for the last 4 years. Needless to say we had all the details planned out a long time ago and picking a day was all that was needed. So off we went.

The targeted species

Once we found them its was not stop action. The best part was having the whole place to ourselves. Definitely going to have to find more time for the little guys.
