We both thought this was a salmon on the first take as they were rolling all around us. James has a reputation for putting big fish on the hook. I attribute it to karma. He’s a gifted pediatric cardiologist and one of the nicest guys one could meet.

Was fortunate enough to be on the net for this wily Deschutes tank that my buddy James hooked into on the swing.

Swinging up trout on a two-hander is one of my favorite things to do. Living in the heart of the Rockies, it’s a great way to keep my casting mechanics in shape for the few days I get to chase PNW steelhead.
