Because We Could
"Wow, check out that fish!" part 2 ... April with another mondo B.C. steelhead ...
If any of you bass boys doubt the beauty of steelhead fishing, go ahead and say so.
Deeter
ok, that looks more natural. the other photo, she had her sweater outside her waders and too much make-up.
and kirk, why does this have to be bass vs. steelhead? that's such a ridiculous comparison. how about bluefin tuna vs. steelhead?

Yeah, I agree that this one is more natural looking and less "posed" than the last one...although, they're both nice fish, and it doesn't matter to me what she wears to fish in as long as she's fishing.
But my one question is this:
Has April got a boyfriend? Dang! Talk about the best of both worlds...Hot, and a Fly fisher(Wo)man. Nice!

Hey that's my wife! Where did you get that pic?

What lure is that? Looks like a blue grasshopper.
I guess what matters most is the fish chomped it.
NICE!

Where exactly in BC and does Frontier fly direct?

No arguments here. Having grown up, literally, on the banks of a thousand Oklahoma farm ponds largemouth bass will always be my default fish.
However, I am under no illusions as to its fighting qualities compared to other gamefish.
I do have some angling goals before I die, and learning to fish for steelhead in some of those western rivers is one of them.
April's just a beautiful girl but man, what a fish...I have to say, and it's no knock on April, but confronted with two such lovely midlife crisis ideals in one photograph, I'm old enough and have lost just enough of my youthful lecherous nature to choose the fish.
My wife understands this. I've always warned her that I'd never leave her for the young, hot trophy girlfriend and the flashy phallic car, but she damn sure better watch out for the fish and the birds...

are you telling chad to dump his wife?
Posted by: joey | January 24, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Nope. Just stating a fact.
Something to think about.

I think he was telling me I better start taking those trips while I still can...
Posted by: Chad Love | January 24, 2008 at 11:40 AM
You got it.
