Steelhead!

The view from the bridge of the famous (at least locally famous) Grande Rhonde River in extreme southeastern Washington. This river gets a good run of Steelhead and as the summer heats up the Smallmouth fishing is reportedly excellent.


Greg with a nice hen. They don't get huge on the Rhonde but they are plentiful and accessible and a helluva lotta fun.

I fished four days solid on the Rhonde and the Clearwater in north Idaho before returning to the Rhonde with Jess and the boys to catch my first steelhead. Not the biggest fish in the sea, but my first and a cherished memory!
